Despite the popularity of the tweets of the British MP, which were Retweeted and Favorited widely, his stance in favor of Gaza was immediately condemned by some fellow MPs, including Tory chairman Grant Shapps, who said the remarks were an "incitement to violence" and "completely irresponsible", according to the Guardian.
A year after being temporarily suspended by the party for condemning the inhuman treatment inflicted by Israel on the Palestinians, Ward is likely to face more disciplinary measures for his recent tweets in favor of the population of the Gaza strip.
According to BBC, a Liberal Democrat spokesman said “he utterly condemned" the MP's latest remarks, which could prompt disciplinary action,” for taking a stance against Israel.
The Independent said that “David Ward had previously been reprimanded by the party’s leadership over comments condemning Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians.”
