Lammy could have been clearer

UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy has admitted that he 'could have been clearer' when talking about Israel in Parliament.

Sky News reports:

Firstly, Lammy was asked by Dr Rupa Huq what consequences there will be for Israel for withholding aid "for what people are saying is a breach of international law".

He replied: "My honourable friend is right: this is a breach of international law."

Later, Lammy was asked by Jeremy Corbyn why he will not say that Israel is in breach of international law by withholding aid.

He replied: "I did say in my contribution that Israel is in breach of international humanitarian law."

Now Lammy has clarified that what he meant to say was Israel is NOT in breach of international law but he simply forgot the NOT - an easy mistake to make.

So that's alright then.
