Ministers are understood to be ready to halt arms sales if updated legal advice concludes war crimes have taken place
deepened the party’s divisions on Israel
Mr Sunak and David Cameron are keeping open the option of suspending the export of UK-made weapons to Israel in the wake of the assault on an aid convoy which killed three British workers this week, multiple Government sources have told “I think in those circumstances, and those are exceptional circumstances, the Government should at least indicate what they say the legal justification for what the Government is doing is.”
Lord Cameron repeatedly refused to discuss the UK’s position on Thursday, while Mr Sunak said only: “We’ve always had a very careful export licensing regime that we adhere to. There are a set of rules regulations and procedures that we’ll always follow.”
