Following the announcement earlier today that the UK government are to suspend thirty arms licenses to Israel, Robert Peston posted to X after speaking to his sources in Washington.
Peston posted:
Washington sources tell me the Whitehouse feels let down by Starmer’s and Lammy’s decision to revoke licences for the export of military equipment to Israel. “They assured us they wouldn’t do this” said one.

Benjamin Netanyahu has also said that the decision to suspend arms licenses to Israel is a 'shameful decision'.
