Streeting says raising concerns over Gaza in government like ‘hitting up against a brick wall’
Former UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting stated his efforts to raise concerns about conditions in Gaza and push for government action on the conflict were repeatedly dismissed within the UK Labour cabinet, comparing the experience to hitting a brick wall. The statements follow leaked WhatsApp messages from newly appointed UK Ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson, released as part of disclosures related to his appointment, that criticized Streeting as hysterical for lobbying on Gaza and sharing on-the-ground doctor testimonies of harm to Palestinian civilians, alongside other criticisms of Prime Minister Keir Starmer's leadership and cabinet culture.
