Foreign Secretary David Lammy announces partial ban on arms exports to Israel in the Commons

David Lammy has announced the UK will halt some arms sales to Israel.

Making a statement to the House of Commons, Mr Lammy said around 30 of roughly 350 exports to Israel would be suspended.

The exports include equipment intended for use in Gaza, such as components for military jets, helicopters and drones, "as well as items which "facilitate ground targeting", he said

Lammy should only be deciding how much ketchup he needs to put on a customers hot dog. Anything else is way beyond his ability.

If they said British made equipment could be used to commit serious violations of international law, why is Britain making it at all? Maybe the government should place an embargo on Britain itself for making such equipment? If it's that dangerous, where does Britain intend to use it?

[KofelinaPL]

these politicians have no idea what they're doing. theyre essentially allowing one population to suffer while ignoring the other's advances. israel has the right to defend themselves and the arms sales should continue.
