Welsh National Party calls expulsion of Israeli ambassador from UK

Welsh National Party, PlaidCymru, members proposed a resolution urging the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador from the UK until "Israel ends its apartheid and illegal actions in Gaza."

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Welsh National Party, PlaidCymru, members proposed a resolution urging the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador from the UK until "Israel ends its apartheid and illegal actions in Gaza."

Plaid Cymru members have called for a sporting and economic boycott of Israel over the war in Gaza in a vote at their party conference on Saturday.

The party's Westminster MPs backed a motion which described Israel an "apartheid state" and accused it of "ethnic cleansing and war crimes".

It came after the Palestinians' top envoy to the UK, Husam Zomlot, called for Wales to pressure the UK government at a conference on Saturday afternoon.

He told the conference Israel must be "compelled" to comply with international law.

He accused the country of "waging war on the global rules based order", and was applauded when he called for an arms embargo of the country, and the immediate recognition of the state of Palestine.

Saying Israel was committing a "genocide", Zomlot added: "It is heartbreaking that death in Gaza has become the best of options, the easiest of options."
