I have written a public letter to the Foreign Secretary and the Business Secretary, with the support of the Campaign Against Arms Trade, calling for an embargo on arms to Israel and greater transparency in UK arms exports. 57 MPs and Lords have signed it.

This follows the Adjournment Debate on arms exports to Israel I held last month, which you can read about here.

Repeated calls for greater transparency from the government have so far gone unanswered. The bare minimum we can do is be fully honest about what we are sending to a state involved in the indiscriminate slaughter of civilians.

The components which create the fighter jets that Israel has used to level Gaza are 15% British-made – we cannot hide from that. Without British arms export licenses, these jets could not fly, they could not drop their bombs.

The government must impose an embargo on arms to Israel or risk being complicit in genocide.
