Labour MP warns UK govt of ‘criminal liability’ for Israel arms sales

UK Labour MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy raised concerns about the government’s potential criminal liability for supplying weapons to Israel during a Palestine Solidarity Campaign event at the Labour Party conference. She highlighted the risk of a regional war spreading to southern Lebanon and criticized the UK for continuing to sell F-35 parts to Israel, despite suspending some arms export licenses in September.

Ribeiro-Addy emphasized the importance of upholding international law and urged the safe release of Israeli hostages while calling for an end to the conflict. The event featured speeches from BDS movement co-founder Omar Barghouti and other prominent figures, highlighting Britain’s historical role in the Palestinian cause and urging Labour to address past injustices.
