UK’s former PM criticises government for suspending arms licenses to Israel

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has criticised government for suspending arms licenses to Israel. 

“Hamas is still holding many innocent Jewish hostages while Israel tries to prevent a repeat of the 7th October massacre. Why are Lammy and Starmer abandoning Israel? Do they want Hamas to win?" Caliber.Az reports, citing Johnson’s message on X.

The UK government has decided to suspend the export of certain types of weaponry to Israel due to concerns that these weapons could be used in violation of international legal standards. This suspension will affect arms that are used in the Gaza operation.
