"While the British government has joined France and Canada in more assertively condemning Gaza’s suffering, the UK continues to export F35 parts to Israel and power their killer drones with British engines," writes Muslim Aid CEO Khalid Javid in an op-ed for Big Issue today.
"These sales persist despite the International Court of Justice (ICJ) hearing a case alleging Israel’s acts “plausibly” constitute genocide, and despite explicit statements from Israeli officials about displacing Gaza’s population."
"The UK’s condemnation this week is welcomed. However this in itself will not save lives."
"There remains no movement on arms policy. Britain must halt all weapons transfers to Israel, including direct arms and components that can be used for weapons and equipment. Palestine needs this policy change to be made immediately."
