Anas Sarwar calls for end of UK arms sales to Israel

leader Anas Sarwar has called for an end to UK arms sales to Israel and an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

“To me, it is clear that the actions of the Israeli forces do not comply with international humanitarian law and therefore the sales of arms to Israel should stop,” Sarwar said.The Scottish Labour leader condemned the attack by Hamas on October 7, adding that it was “the largest loss of Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust”.

Sarwar continued: “The scenes of death and destruction we witnessed on that day and the attacks on Gaza every day since have left us heartbroken.“But right now, we have a terror organisation, Hamas, who have no interest in peace and Netanyahu’s far right Israeli government that isn’t interested in peace either.”He pointed to humanitarian supplies not being allowed to enter Gaza, as well as the destruction of hospitals and schools and loss of innocent life.
