MINISTERS are facing calls to investigate whether British-made weapons have been used by Israel in its ongoing massacre in Gaza, and if they are implicated in war crimes.
The British government has licensed more than £400 million worth of arms to Israeli forces since 2015, including drones, missiles and warplanes, according to Campaign Against the Arms Trade (CAAT).
Britain is also home to four arms factories owned by Israel’s largest private arms firm, Elbit Systems.
CAAT called for an arms embargo between the two nations today as Israel’s brutal bombardment of the Gaza Strip entered a second week.
At least 198 people, including 58 children, have been killed in the densely populated enclave, with Amnesty International recently warning that war crimes have probably been committed in Gaza.
