The Foreign Secretary has been targeted by pro-Palestine protestors who left child-sized body bags outside of his home in London. David Lammy wasn't in when the two activists from Youth Demand demonstrated outside his home. He has joined the King and Queen on their visit to Rome.

Cristy North, 37, and Sue Houseman were pictured sitting beneath a banner outside the Labour MP's home. The banner read: "Lammy stop arming genocide".

Houseman, a mum from Lancaster, said following the demonstration: “For years I’ve worked with children, helping them understand what’s right and what’s wrong and giving them the confidence to use their voice and to speak up.

"Our government is breaking international humanitarian law and they are allowing Israel to murder children en-masse. We’re providing them with the resources, the bombs, the surveillance equipment they need to kill children day in, day out and the UK government are not doing anything to stop it. If, like me, you are not prepared to put up with that, then please take action this April with Youth Demand."

The Government’s position is that Israel is at at clear risk of breaching international humanitarian law with its actions in Gaza.

However, last month Mr Lammy was forced to climb down over his accusation in the Commons that Israel had committed a “breach of international law” by withholding aid deliveries to Gaza.

Clarifying the Government position, he said “could have been a little clearer”.

Youth Demand is a relatively new pro-Palestine, environmental organisation, calling for a trade embargo on Israel from the UK. It also wants the Government to impose a super tax on the wealthy to raise £1tn for the "global south", which it says will bear the brunt of climate change.

A Youth Demand spokesperson said: "David Lammy has admitted that Israel is in breach of international law and yet the UK has cancelled less than 10% of arms sales to Israel. 90% complicity with murder is still complicity with murder.

"History will rightly view those that supported the systematic slaughter of children with absolute contempt, and David Lammy will be held to account for not having the spine to cease trading with Israel and halting British armed forces from assisting this genocide."
