This is a Global Player original podcast.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Since the election of the fascist Israeli government in December last year,

there has been an increase in human rights violations against Palestinian civilians,

including children.

So can the Prime Minister tell us how he is challenging

what amnesty and other human rights organisations are referring to

an apartheid state?

Well, that was Kim Johnson.

She's a Labour MP in Liverpool.

And she called Israel in her question, in prime minister's questions, a fascist state.

Now, there will be some listening who think that the new government in Israel is taking things to an extraordinarily extreme place.

And yet, for Labour, that kind of language leaves a particular problem for Kirstama.

Yeah, I was in the chamber when Kim Johnson said that.

And as soon as she uttered that word, fascist, there were these murmurings on the conservative benches,

Conservative MPs telling her that she should withdraw. and in the post-PMQ's debrief with journalists, which is led by both the Conservative and Prime Minister spokesman and then Labour's and Kirstamber's spokesperson, his spokesperson said that Kim Johnson's remarks were unacceptable and has called on her to withdraw them.

And she has been, at the time of recording, called in to see Labour's chief wit.

And later in the podcast, we're going to be looking at the situation in Israel, in the West Bank,

as it stands at the moment, with a Channel 4 correspondent who has just returned on the very dangerous situation

and the question of whether there's going to be another uprising, another interfaida in the Middle East.
