Foreign Secretary David Cameron tells the BBC the UK should focus on getting humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Lord Cameron said while he would not support a major ground offensive in the Gazan city of Rafah, the UK would not copy US plans to stop some arms sales.

He said the UK supplies just 1% of Israel’s weapons and warned Israel must do more to protect civilians and allow humanitarian aid through.

    “Just to simply announce today that we will change our approach on arms exports, it would make Hamas stronger and it would make a hostage deal less likely,” he adds.

    … But it would SAVE civilians and force Israel to reevaluate their blatantly low standard for collateral damage.

    That Cameron simply thinks “hammering more aid” into Gaza can offset the destruction of 500-2000lb bombs in densely-populated civilian centers needs to be called out head-on by reporters and activists.

    At the end of the day, Israel has committed the equivalent of well over 20 if not 30 October 7ths in terms of the death and destruction to innocent civilian lives. REGARDLESS of Hamas’ actions, it speaks more on Israel that they don’t value the alleged human shields Hamas supposedly uses at every strike Israel makes.
