Foreign secretary David Lammy announced on Monday some arms sales to Israel were being suspended
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli PM, has posted a thread on social media describing the British government’s decision to suspend some arms sales to Israel as “shameful”.
Days after Hamas executed six Israeli hostages, the UK government suspended thirty arms licenses to Israel.
This shameful decision will not change Israel’s determination to defeat Hamas, a genocidal terrorist organization that savagely murdered 1200 people on October 7, including 14 British citizens.
Hamas is still holding over 100 hostages, including 5 British citizens. Instead of standing with Israel, a fellow democracy defending itself against barbarism, Britain’s misguided decision will only embolden Hamas.
Israel is pursuing a just war with just means, taking unprecedented measures to keep civilians out of harm’s way and comporting fully with international law.
