SECURITY minister Tom Tugendhat tried to shirk the government’s complicity with the bloodshed in Gaza today by claiming British-supplied arms are “not likely” to be used in a major Israeli offensive.
He told Sky News that he “can’t go into details” but “the reality is we’re dealing with a very, very different element here.”
Israel is advancing troops towards Rafah and intensifying attacks on the city, amid threats of a full-scale invasion.
