In his resignation letter, Mark Smith stated, 'Each day, my colleagues witness clear and unquestionable examples of war crimes and breaches of international humanitarian law by Israel in Gaza.' He described disturbing behavior from Israeli forces, asserting that the government's arms sales are complicit in these actions.
Smith emphasized the gravity of the situation, detailing that senior Israeli officials have expressed genocidal intent. He observed that the attacks on civilian infrastructure, including schools and hospitals, are clear violations of international law.
While the FCDO maintained they were upholding international law, Smith pointedly rejected this, arguing, 'There is no justification for the UK's continued arms sales to Israel,' highlighting the moral and legal implications of these actions.
