A former UK security adviser and member of the British House of Lords, Peter Ricketts, has called for the cessation of weapon sales to Israel. Ricketts expressed concerns over Israel's alleged failure to prioritize the safety of civilians in conflict zones.
Ricketts emphasized that countries receiving arms from the UK must adhere to international humanitarian law as a condition of their arms export license. He urged the UK government to take a stand and send a clear signal to Israel regarding its obligations.
