0:00.0 | Why has the media cover this up? On Tuesday, the Israeli Foreign Minister, Gideon Tsar, met with the British Foreign Secretary David Lammy in London. |
0:09.1 | Yet you would only know about this visit to the UK by the Israeli foreign minister if you read Middle East Eye, which is where you often find stories much of the rest of the media ignore. |
0:19.8 | Middle East Eye also revealed, based on their |
0:21.7 | sources, that the trip would be unannounced. Why cover it up? Sarr, as Middle East I |
0:28.4 | note, justified Israel's decision to cut off aid to Gaza, that is a total blockade, |

1:30.8 | That's the foundation which is seeking to prosecute those guilty of war crimes. |
1:36.1 | It's named after the five-year-old little Palestinian girl who was slaughtered alongside her family, as well as a paramedic sent to save her. |
1:43.2 | That's because of allegations against Saar, |
1:45.6 | who's obviously one of the leading members of Israeli government, |
1:48.3 | about aiding and abetting torture and severe breaches of international law. |
1:52.8 | According to Glan, the Global Legal Action Network, |
