UK Foreign Secretary told Sky News today (Sunday) that an arms embargo on Israel would be "not wise" and make a hostage deal with Hamas less likely.
Cameron said that the UK is unlike the US, which has announced that it would not provide weapons to be used in a Rafah operation, as "The UK provides less than 1% of Israel's weapons and is not a state supplier." Furthermore, "We have a licensing system and those licences can be closed if it's judged there's a serious risk of a serious international human rights violation."
The Washington Post recently reported that the Biden administration, in addition to withholding air and ground munitions to deter a broad Rafah operation, may also be withholding sensitive intelligence information on the location of Hamas leaders and tunnels leading up to them.
