PRESS RELEASE: A top barrister and a legal research team on Monday lodged an extensive report to London’s Metropolitan Police accusing 10 British citizens of war crimes in Gaza, according to local media reports. The 240-page report was compiled by a team of lawyers in the UK and researchers based in The Hague for submission to the War Crimes Team at the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command, said multiple media outlets.
The submission was made on behalf of the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights and the British-based Public Interest Law Centre, which are representing Palestinians in Gaza and Britain. The report, which is the first of its kind, reportedly provides detailed, fully researched, and solid evidence of the involvement of British nationals in grave crimes committed in Gaza.
It specifically identified 10 British suspects and presented a dossier of evidence of their involvement in "war crimes and crimes against humanity" committed by the Israeli military. It further calls for an investigation into those British nationals, with the aim of issuing arrest warrants and pursuing prosecutions in British courts.

However, they were told they could not enter the country, with Israel's embassy in Britain saying in a statement: “These individuals had accused Israel of false claims, were actively involved in promoting sanctions against Israeli ministers, and supported campaigns aimed at boycotting the State of Israel.”
The pair said they were "astounded" by the decision in a statement of their own.
The incident provoked anger across the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP). It also came as many Labour MPs were already urging the government to take a harder line on Israel's conduct in Gaza after the recent killing of 15 emergency workers by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF)... (MORE - details)
