Aid worker deaths: Davey calls on government to suspend arms sales to Israel

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

The Liberal Democrats have called on the government to suspend arms sales to Israel, following the deaths of seven aid workers including three British nationals in an Israeli air strike in Gaza.

Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:

The deaths of these British aid workers in Gaza is an absolute disgrace. These brave people were trying to help starving families in Gaza. 

“Clearly, the thought that British-made arms could have been used in strikes such as these is completely unacceptable. 

“The government must take swift action to suspend arms exports to Israel. We must redouble our efforts to secure an immediate bilateral ceasefire.”
