UK’s foreign secretary ‘satisfied’ with limited suspension of arms export licences to Israel

“I’m satisfied with the assessment that’s been made.”

In response to MP Apsana Begum’s call to suspend all arms sales to Israel due to concerns over UK complicity in Gaza war crimes and Israel's expanded military operations in the West Bank, Foreign Secretary David Lammy defended suspending only 30 of the 350 export arms licences to Israel.
