'No shame': UK invites private firms to compete for Gaza reconstruction contracts

The British government is inviting private firms to compete for contracts to rebuild post-war Gaza, positioning itself as a key player in the reconstruction efforts. Middle East Minister Hamish Falconer is leading a conference to drive private finance for the initiative. This plan has drawn sharp criticism and outrage from several Members of Parliament, including former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Critics argue it is hypocritical and sickening for the UK to profit from rebuilding a territory it helped destroy by providing arms and intelligence to Israel during the conflict.
