UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak Sacks Minister, Paul Bristow Who Called For Gaza Ceasefire


It came just hours after the former PPS to Science, Innovation and Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan wrote to the prime minister telling him a ceasefire would save lives.

A minister in United Kingdom Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak's government has been sacked after he called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

Tory MP Paul Bristow left his job as a Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) at the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology after urging Mr Sunak to back a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

It came just hours after the former PPS to Science, Innovation and Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan wrote to the prime minister telling him a ceasefire would save lives.

According to UK Express, he said Palestinian civilians were facing "collective punishment" as a result of Israel's siege and campaign of airstrikes in the wake of Hamas's attack.

Downing Street said the Peterborough MP was asked to leave his job as a PPS for breaking rank. Bristow has been approached for comment.

Mr Bristow's letter, dated Thursday (October 26), appears to have been deleted from his website, but remains on Facebook.

The MP wrote he felt "deeply grieved by the heart-breaking and devastating humanitarian crisis" unfolding in Gaza, having spoken with constituents and meeting with the Peterborough Joint Mosques Council.


He said he welcomed Mr Sunak's call for what he termed "specific pauses" in the fighting to allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, which is home to more than two million people.

But Mr Bristow added: "A permanent ceasefire would save lives and allow for a continued column of humanitarian aid (to) reach the people who need it the most.

"The brutal Hamas attacks against innocent civilians are unforgivable. Hostages need to be released. It is challenging to understand how the present strategy of bombing Gaza will lead to the release of hostages."


Mr Bristow added "ordinary people" were "not Hamas", with the group's attacks on Israel condemned as "brutal" and "unforgivable".

He accompanied an image of the letter on social media with the comment Palestinians should not "suffer collective punishment for the crimes of Hamas" - action which could be deemed a war crime.

If this happened in Africa, they would have been writing to the embassy screaming African leaders are killing freedom of speech.

But here is the UK prime minister sacking someone just because he called for peace.

If na one African president dey kill people of other country, USA go condemn to The Hague but since it is Israel doing the killing, they look the other way and say they are fighting terrorists.

This world is the more you look, the less you see.

You want to put UK into trouble with their big daddy America ni?

See ehn, how do you expect America to sell weapons and make money if there is ceasefire and no wars?

You think their yearly billion dollars military budget is for playing? There are so many weapons lying in warehouses in America that need to be sold...they go about looking for trouble in other countries so that war can break out so they can cashout.

You know what? They make money on two fronts, they sell weapons to terrorist and also sell to the government fighting the terrorists...double cashout.

America will never support world peace (they only pay lip service to world peace), do you want them to go broke?

Do you even know how many billions of dollars Nigeria already spent on buying weapons from America who have also been selling weapons to boko haram?

There is oil at gaza strip and israel wants it. That strip of water there is very rich with oil and gas. It belongs to Gaza. Anyways hezbollah has started sending long range missiles deep into israel and very soon their general will give a press conference . The goal is to have the Palestinians leave but this will be israels greatest blunder despite their acclaimed intelligence .

Israel thought people will keep shut like it happened in Myanmar when the Rohingya people was displaced but it backfire. This is the real reason America wanted to get rid of Tiktok and other decentralised news but just like Tinubu was exposed for his corrupt electoral practices, it happened to them also.

Stop watching mainstream media. I can only advice you.

Becuase Israelis are Europeans and they are perfect for destablising Middle East. Actually they have worked together to either destablise Midde East or turn them into Western puppets

Just.imagine Hamas attack Putin Russia this one isreal is doing will be child's play .

In the end all d Arab countries cannot save Hamas even with all d noise and protest in their millions.
Comment to open Rafa crossing the entire Arab world rely on Isreal.

The truth is Arab world will always be at the mercy of the west cos they invested in religion instead of science and technology.

There is nothing complicated about the issue in Israel. It is insensitive to use that terminology.


ideabusiness200:
I understand this is a significant development, but it's important to clarify that Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by several countries, including the United States, Israel, and the European Union, due to its history of armed conflict, attacks on civilians, and its stated goal of eliminating the state of Israel. The situation in the Middle East is highly complex, and differing views exist, but this is the official stance of these governments regarding Hamas.

Hmmm ..... when a soldier is beaten up ... his mates return and open fire on the community killing innocent people .... do we support or condemn such attacks? When a herdsman is attacked .... his people return to the scene .... slaughter the residents and set fire to their homes. Do we support or condemn such attacks? What if I say kill them all ... they should've known not to attack the herdsman?
This is called "collective punishment" ... the same the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians .... what was done to the same Israelis by Hitler and the Nazis. Hypocrites everywhere.

We need to chew before we swallow.

The US that doesn't want others involved and escalate the war..... except they.

Some of the Palestinian children killed ... but they don't count.

Enough is enough ... before this flare-up... this is what Israelis been doing .... taking over Palestinian lands and properties. A family is thrown out of their home by Israeli citizens backed by the IDF. What would you have done?

Actually, it's nothing new in the US.

Hypocrisy of this western world - US, UK, EU and others, is why I'd always stand by Putin, China and the East.

Here in the US, many people that are not even Arabs or related to Palestinians have lost their Jobs either in media, entertainment, academics, and other public or private sectors for standing with Gazans/Palestinians.

Humanitarian agencies of the UN and UN itself can't do nothing because they're controlled by the West.

Last week, Washington DC was mad at Aljazeera for broadcasting what other western media couldn't air and had to call the Qatari government to warn them.
