The United Kingdom, through Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron, has issued a warning to Israel, threatening to impose an arms embargo unless Israel allows the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to visit Hamas members and Nukhba terrorists detained following the October 7th attack. This demand has been echoed across various reports, with the UK's Foreign Minister explicitly warning Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of potential consequences. The UK is concerned about ensuring that international law is adhered to, particularly regarding the treatment of prisoners. The situation highlights the UK's readiness to suspend its export license to Israel, emphasizing the immediacy of the threat, with statements suggesting that the UK could cut off arms supplies to Israel within a week if their demands are not met.
