British MPs call for change in weapons export policy to Israel
None
British MPs say they will call for a change in policy in weapon sales to Israel following a government announcement that the state "almost certainly" used UK-made weaponry in Operation Cast Lead in Gaza, the Guardian reported Monday.
"It is regrettable that arms exports to Israel were almost certainly used in Operation Cast Lead," the Commons committee on strategic export controls said in a report. "This is in direct contravention to the UK government's policy that UK arms exports to Israel should not be used in the occupied territories." (Ynet)
