In a recent interview with the Guardian newspaper, Halima Begum, the chief executive of Oxfam Great Britain, criticized the UK’s stance on the Gaza war. She expressed disappointment over London’s decision to sell arms to Israel while also providing humanitarian aid to Gaza, calling it “intellectually and morally incoherent.”
Begum, who recently visited Israel and the West Bank, emphasized the need for the UK to stop selling arms to Israel. She argued that selling weapons, even as components, contributes to the killing of innocent people in the region. Begum questioned the British government’s justification for the arms sales as a commercial matter, urging them to reconsider their stance.
Unable to enter Gaza due to opposition from Israeli authorities, Begum highlighted the dire situation in the region, with thousands of Palestinians killed and children facing malnutrition and possible famine. She called on the British government to take a stand against the violence in Gaza and prioritize humanitarian aid over weapons sales.
As the crisis in Gaza continues, Begum urges a reevaluation of the UK’s policy towards the conflict, emphasizing the need for a more coherent and ethical approach to support peace and stability in the region.
