Washington, The United Kingdom announced Tuesday that it will keep selling arms to the Israeli entity despite the rising voices calling for the need for Western countries to stop supplying the Israeli occupation with the weapons it uses in its devastating war on the Gaza enclave.
Speaking in a joint conference with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken Tuesday, Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom David Cameron said his country will not suspend arms sales from UK firms to the Israeli entity. He added that he has reviewed the latest legal advice from his department on whether Israel is breaking humanitarian law in its war, ignoring the intense pressures faced by Rishi Sunak government to cancel the export licenses that allow funneling arms to the Israeli occupation.
“Ultimate judgment” was that the export licenses “will continue” and that the UK’s position is “unchanged,” Cameron said.
“This is consistent with the advice that I and other ministers have received, and as ever we will keep the position under
review,” Cameron added.
