LABOUR’S new Foreign Secretary must intervene to halt arms sales to Israel if Britain is to end its complicity in the Gazan genocide, the Scottish Greens demanded today.

The party has taken the opportunity to remind David Lammy of the “serious concerns” he had on Israeli military conduct as he begins his first week at the head of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Devolopment Office.

In opposition, Mr Lammy had also called for the last Tory government to release its legal advice on arms sales to Israel amid concerns that the government was in breach of its own arms export criteria which preclude sales if there was “clear risk” they may be used in a serious breach of international humanitarian law.
