LONDON, 23 April. - (ANA) - The United Kingdom (UK) is still selling weapons to Israel, despite Foreign Secretary David Cameron repeatedly questioning whether its assault on Gaza complies with international humanitarian law — and stating sales must stop if Israel is in breach.

 

This stance will be tested at the Royal Courts of Justice in London today in a case brought by the Global Legal Action Network organization and Al-Haq, a Palestinian human rights group.

 

The U.K.’s staunch support for Israel is being questioned in a second area: its failure to restore funding to UNRWA, the key Gaza aid agency, despite reports that Israel failed to produce evidence to back up its claim of staff involvement in October’s Hamas massacre.

 

The European Union lifted its funding freeze on March 1, and many other countries have resumed funding, but the U.K. has been silent.-(ANA) -
