Amid threats of legal action against the Government, the Deputy Prime Minister said advice on arms exports has not changed
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden speaks to the media outside BBC Broadcasting House in London Photo credit should read: Jordan Pettitt/PA WireOliver Dowden refused to say if Israel has broken international law in Gaza amid rising tension over the conflict but said the country has made “big mistakes” in its campaign against Hamas.
He said: “If it is the case that we can’t lawfully in accordance with the act do so, of course we won’t supply those arms, but that is precisely the position for example even in respect of the United States or any other country around the world.
Mr Dowden later said: “The manner in which some people are seizing on this issue and trying to hold Israel to incredibly high standards, of course it is right that we hold Israel to high standards, but I just think there is a bit of relish from some people about the way in which they are pushing this case against Israel.”
