Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has strongly criticized calls for the UK to ban arms sales to Israel, labeling such proposals as "insane" and "shameful." Johnson argued that halting weapon exports to Israel would undermine the country's military position against Hamas and represent a broader "death wish" of Western civilization. He accused the foreign secretary of avoiding the topic and made a pointed remark towards his predecessor, David Cameron. Johnson's comments have sparked reactions, with Tobias Ellwood MP suggesting that if Israel is perceived to break international law, freezing arm sales could be considered. Critics have labeled Johnson's stance as supportive of continued conflict, while he insists that banning arms sales would equate to conceding victory to what he describes as "murderers."
