Labour calls for review of UK arms sales to Israel

LONDON - Fabian Hamilton, Jeremy Corbyn's shadow peace mininster, has told MEE that Labour is "commited to reviewing UK arms sales to Israel". 

Following on from his party leader's calls for action earlier, he said: "The UK should be using its position on the UN Security Council to lead the calls for an independent investigation into the deaths in Gaza yesterday and over the last six weeks. It is vital that any investigation looks closely at whether there was a breach of international law during the protests. The UN Human Rights Council has rightly expressed extreme concern over yesterday’s deaths, in which it must be remembered that several children were reportedly killed.”

“The fact is that any civilian deaths, or deaths of children, are completely unacceptable and should be met with action, not just words.”
