LONDON: British Foreign Secretary David Lammy has announced a pause in trade deal negotiations with Israel and summoned Israel’s ambassador over its expansion of its military assault on Gaza.
Lammy said Israel’s conduct in its war on Gaza and the government’s support for illegal settlements is “damaging our relationship with your government”.
“I have seen for myself the consequences of settler violence, the fear of its victims, the impunity of its perpetrators. Today we are demonstrating again that we will continue to act against those that are carrying out heinous abuses of human rights,” Lammy told parliament as he announced sanctions on three people and four entities in the occupied West Bank.
