UK Government Clarifies Position on Israel's Gaza Actions Following Lammy's Remarks

Downing Street asserts that Israel is 'at risk' of breaching international law, distancing itself from Foreign Secretary David Lammy’s earlier comments.

David Lammy, the UK Foreign Secretary, stated in Parliament that Israel's blockade of aid to Gaza constitutes a 'breach of international law.'
Downing Street later clarified that Israel's actions are 'at risk' of breaching international humanitarian law, emphasizing that only courts can make definitive judgments.
Israel resumed airstrikes on Gaza following the collapse of ceasefire talks, with over 400 deaths reported and significant civilian casualties worsening the humanitarian crisis.
The UK government ruled out an arms embargo on Israel, despite criticism from human rights groups over its arms trade policies.
Hamas has demanded the full withdrawal of Israeli troops and an end to the war in exchange for the release of remaining hostages, a key sticking point in negotiations.
