Condemning UK-US-led Bombing in Yemen

That the Parliament is concerned by reports of the recent and ongoing UK-US-led bombing campaign in Yemen, and what it sees as the dangerous escalation of conflict in the Middle East; considers that this comes after almost a decade-long, Saudi-led bombardment and blockade of Yemen, which was reportedly supported by British arms sales, military advice and logistical support, and which, it understands, led to the deaths of thousands of civilians, widespread famine and cholera outbreaks; believes that the UK Government should not have acted without first consulting the UK Parliament; is extremely alarmed by the reported admission of President Biden that the airstrikes are not stopping Houthi attacks on shipping but that they will continue regardless; believes that a lasting resolution to the conflict between Hamas and Israel, and to Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, does not involve expanding the conflict further at the cost of more innocent lives, and further believes that the top priority of both the US and UK governments should be securing a lasting ceasefire in Gaza.
