The British government says it will suspend new free trade negotiations with Israel due to its military conduct in the war on Gaza, where hundreds of Palestinians have been killed in recent days under bombardment, a new ground offensive has been launched and starvation is widespread.
Speaking in Parliament on Tuesday, Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the United Kingdom was imposing additional sanctions on illegal Israeli settler outposts in the occupied West Bank, while the Israeli ambassador to the UK, Tzipi Hotovely, has also been summoned to the Foreign Office.
