"History Will Judge Them": U.K. Suspends Trade Talks with Israel Amid Starvation Campaign
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The United Kingdom has suspended trade talks with Israel and will impose
sanctions on West Bank illegal settlers. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Keir
Starmer called Israel's announcement that it would allow a small
quantity of food into Gaza for its starving population of over 2 million
"totally and utterly inadequate." This is British Foreign Secretary
David Lammy.

David Lammy: "The world is judging. History will judge them. Blocking
aid, expanding the war, dismissing the concerns of your friends and
partners, this is indefensible, and it must stop."
