ANTI-WAR campaigners have hit out at the government’s continued refusal to publish legal advice on whether the offensive in Gaza has broken international humanitarian rules.

He said advice from government lawyers to ministers on the situation will remain confidential but stressed that Britain’s support for Israel is not “unconditional.”
