London workers, trade unionists demand halt of weapons exports to Israel

Hundreds of workers and trade unionists shut down access to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) headquarters in central London to demand that the UK's new Labour government ends arms exports to Israel.

In March, the FCDO was accused by then-Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Alicia Kearns of hiding legal advice that Israel is violating international humanitarian law in Gaza.

Several protesters were arrested.
