Following the deaths of seven aid workers in an Israeli air strike in Gaza, Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey has called for the UK government to suspend arms sales to Israel, citing concerns over British-made arms potentially being used in such strikes as 'completely unacceptable'. This sentiment was echoed by former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, who criticized the 'recklessness' of Israel's Armed Forces. However, Boris Johnson, the disgraced former British Prime Minister, has strongly opposed these calls, labeling them as 'insane' and 'shameful', and defended the UK's arms sales to Israel.
