LABOUR UK. CALL UPON GOVERNMENT HALT ARMS SALES TO ISRAEL
May 13, 2024Shadow Secretary David Lammy of the Labour Party has called on the UK government to pause arms sales to Israel for the first time since the war on Gaza began. Lammy raised concerns over the weapons use in the Israeli invasion of Rafah, the southernmost city in the Gaza Strip.
On the other hand, David Cameron, the current foreign secretary, said on Sunday that such a decision is “not a wise path.”
“Labour has been opposed to an Israeli offensive in Rafah for months and has been clear it must not go ahead,” Lammy explained.
The UK government has also kept legal advice it received on arms sales to the Israeli regime secret, as reports indicate that government lawyers have indeed pointed to several breaches of international law by the Israeli occupation. If the government were to admit that Israel has breached international law in its war on Gaza, the UK government would be forced to halt arms sales to the non-compliant regime.
“This was part of Labour’s motion that passed the House of Commons in February and it is one of the reasons we have been calling on David Cameron to publish a summary of the legal advice with regards to arms sales,” the shadow minister stated.
Finally!! This is great but NOT ENOUGH! The UK MUST be pressured MORE to halt their arms supply to Israel!
