Over 100 Muslim Labour councilors are urging the British government to cease arms sales to Israel, citing the devastating impact on Palestinian civilians. With over 42,500 Palestinians killed in Gaza and ongoing attacks in Lebanon, the signatories highlight the atrocities being committed.
In a heartfelt letter to Keir Starmer, the councilors emphasize the unimaginable human toll in Gaza, with thousands of children and vital infrastructure destroyed by Israeli attacks. They call on the Labour government to uphold international humanitarian law and suspend arms sales to Israel until the situation improves.
Despite UN resolutions for a cease-fire, Israel continues its brutal offensive in Gaza, displacing the population and causing severe shortages of essential resources. Efforts for a peaceful resolution have faltered, leading to a genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
