It calls for an end of arms supply to Israel.
Rishi Sunak is facing increasing pressure over the UK’s weapon supply to Israel A new letter signed by hundreds of legal professionals has put further pressure on the government to change its stance on Israel. The letter calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the UK’s supply of arms to Israel. It’s significant because it’s signed by retired senior judges, who don’t usually get involved with politically sensitive issues.
A letter sent on 26 October 2023 was signed by over 1,000 lawyers and legal academics. It warned the government to avoid complicity in breaches of humanitarian law in Gaza. UK defence exports to Israel amounted to £42 million in 2022 However, not only does Wednesday’s letter go further in its demands than the October letter, it is also signed by senior retired judges. Normally, senior retired judges do not publicly comment on politically sensitive issues.
