July 17th, 2024

Labour MP Zarah Sultana has called on Keir Starmer to halt arms sales to Israel. Ms Sultana is to table an amendment to the king’s speech calling on colleagues to uphold international law and suspend arms sales to Israel.

Ms Sultana writes in The Guardian: "Our new government must do the right thing and stop enabling Israeli war crimes. That is why today, as a backbench Labour MP, I am tabling an amendment to the king’s speech calling on colleagues to uphold international law and suspend arms sales to Israel."

Ms Sultana also quotes UNRWA in her piece, saying: "This past week has been 'one of the deadliest' since Israel’s assault began, according to Unrwa, the UN aid agency for Palestinians."
