The British Foreign Secretary, David Cameron, announced a firm stance regarding the halt of arms sales to Israel in the event of a ground attack on the city of Rafah in Gaza, noting that this would have a tangible impact on bolstering Hamas’s strength.
In a statement to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Cameron emphasized that a military operation in Rafah without a clear plan to protect civilians is not feasible, highlighting that Britain’s position on arms sales to Israel differs significantly from that of the United States, with Britain subjecting arms sales to stringent controls.
The Minister added that they could send a serious political message on this matter, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the current approach to military exports rather than making sudden decisions that could escalate tensions in the region.
In a related context, he pointed out that Iran’s recent attack on Israel with cruise missiles has further complicated the situation, underscoring the need to reach an agreement with Hamas for the release of hostages.
In a related development, Israel issued orders to evacuate new areas in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, affirming its commitment to its plans for a ground offensive despite threats to halt arms supplies from its allies.
