In a controversial move, Labour's Foreign Secretary David Lammy announced the suspension of 30 arms export licenses to Israel, citing a 'clear risk' of violations of international humanitarian law. This decision has sparked a fierce backlash, particularly from former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who accused Labour's leadership of abandoning Israel amid ongoing conflicts with Hamas. Johnson's remarks, shared on social media, emphasized that Hamas continues to hold hostages and questioned whether Lammy and Labour leader Keir Starmer want Hamas to succeed. Critics, including pro-Israel groups and religious leaders, have condemned the suspension, arguing it undermines Israel's security during a critical time. Despite the backlash, the UK government's Defence Secretary John Healey insisted that the decision would not materially impact Israel's security. The situation highlights the ongoing tension within UK politics regarding support for Israel and the Palestinian conflict.
