A photo of David Lammy and Benjamin Netanyahu shaking hands with a tweet from Amnesty over the top which says: Empty words from the Foreign Secretary - the statement lacks any resolve, leadership or action to help end the genocide in Gaza. 1/4🧵 Amnesty's tweet is in response to a tweet from David Lammy that reads: The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths.
