CAMPAIGNERS voiced outrage today after the British government hosted a conference to “drive forward private finance efforts for Gaza’s reconstruction.”
The three-day summit began on Monday at London’s Wilton Park and brought together international investors.
Speaking at the opening, Middle East minister Hamish Falconer said that Gaza has “real economic potential” which must be “unlocked.”
He underlined the need to think “creatively to bring in private capital” and touted Britain as being “well placed to help.”
The minister then posted a photo on X of suits sat around the table declaring it time to “seize this moment” and that the conference would “drive forward private finance efforts for Gaza’s reconstruction.”
Campaigners slammed the meeting as “immoral” given Britain’s complicity in enabling Israel’s war crimes.
…
A spokesperson from left group Momentum slammed the conference as an example of “blatant profiteering.”
“It is totally immoral to use Israel’s genocide of the people of Gaza, which the government is complicit in, to make money.
“Reconstruction efforts must be determined by the people of Gaza.”
Mike Cushman, membership secretary of Jewish Voice for Liberation (JVL), said: “Gaza is a humanitarian and environmental disaster, not a profit opportunity for get-rich-quick private finance.
“PFI has been neither efficient nor effective in Britain, leaving a vast overhang of debt to be picked up by taxpayers for substandard services; only an inhumane government immersed in a colonialist mentality would try to inflict it on Gaza.
Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza’s hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.Genocide denying UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy says that UK is suspending 30 of 350 arms licences to Israel.

We asked Sir Trevor Chinn why he’s donated so much money to Labour, after he held an undisclosed meeting with Britain’s foreign secretary.
David Lammy held an off the record meeting with Sir Trevor Chinn, an influential businessman and one of Britain’s leading pro-Israel lobbyists, Declassified can reveal.
The meeting took place on 11 February 2025 but was not recorded in official transparency data published by the Foreign Office.
Lammy’s sole public appointment on that day was a meeting with the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator to discuss “humanitarian crises around the globe” including the situation in Gaza.
The Foreign Office only released details about Lammy’s meeting with Chinn in response to a Freedom of Information request issued by Declassified.
It said this was a “political meeting” and no minutes from the discussion were taken.
The Foreign Office also disclosed that Middle East minister Hamish Falconer met with Chinn on 18 March 2025 in another rendezvous that was not recorded in transparency data.
Lammy, Falconer and Chinn did not respond to questions about whether the meetings focussed on Israel.
Chinn said in 2013: “I’ve spent my entire life working for Israel”. Since the 1980s, he has funded Labour Friends of Israel and Conservative Friends of Israel.
He has played a leading role in Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre (BICOM), previously described by the Guardian as “Britain’s most active pro-Israel lobbying organisation”.
Doorstepping Chinn
Declassified recently revealed that Chinn – now 90 – met with a top British diplomat to discuss arms exports to Israel despite the government initially claiming the purpose of the meeting was “to discuss geopolitics”.
Chinn did not respond to Declassified’s request for comment on that story. So when we saw him disembarking a taxi outside the Chatham House think-tank in London last month, we quickly asked him for an interview.
Chinn, gripping a copy of the Financial Times, declined our request.
“You’re a very generous benefactor to the Labour Party,” we said as he was ushered inside. “What do you think about the situation in Gaza at the moment? Why do you donate so much money to the Labour Party?”
He ignored our questions, which related to his £50,000 donation towards Keir Starmer’s Labour leadership campaign in 2020.
Chinn’s donation was not disclosed until after the election had taken place.
He has also donated to key members of Starmer’s cabinet including chancellor Rachel Reeves, deputy prime minister Angela Rayner, health secretary Wes Streeting, education secretary Bridget Phillipson, culture secretary Lisa Nandy, and Lammy.
Chinn entered the building on the heels of Israeli opposition politician Yair Golan, who was in the capital for meetings with politicians, including Falconer, and local Zionist organisations.

FORMER Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn MP has criticised the government for “making no attempt” to answer MPs’ questions over its complicity in the Gaza genocide.
A five-strong pro-Palestine group of MPs, forming the Independent Alliance parliamentary group, has asked for the government’s definition of genocide, what advice it has received over its applicability in Gaza and what it was doing to fulfil its legal obligations to prevent genocide.
In letters sent to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, Foreign Secretary David Lammy and the Attorney General Richard Hermer, they also asked whether RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus, is being used as a route for weapons to be deployed in Gaza and what legal advice the government has received over its use to support Israeli military operations.
Replying to Mr Corbyn two months after the letters were sent, Middle East minister Hamish Falconer did not address the questions.
…
Mr Corbyn shared a copy of The Independent Alliance’s written response to Mr Falconer on social media.
It said: “We are extremely disappointed that you’ve made no attempt whatsoever to answer any of these questions.
…
“It remains unknown whether the government has refused to seek legal advice over the definition of genocide, or whether the legal advice it has received is at direct odds with the statement the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary have made.”
They added that it is “particularly concerning” that the government failed to provide any detail on how it has met its obligations to prevent genocide.
“We say again: we deserve to know the full scale of our government’s complicity and participation in genocide,” it added.
UK Foreign Minister David Lammy confirms that UK government and military are active participants in Israel’s genocides and that the F-35 parts that they suspended from supplying to Israel are instead simply diverted via the United States. He says see https://youtu.be/QILgUHrdWREGenocide denier and Current UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is quoted that he supports Zionism without qualification. He also confirms that UK air force support has been essential in Israel’s mass-murdering genocide.
