Downing Street has publicly rejected Foreign Secretary David Lammy's assertion that Israel has violated international law by obstructing aid to Gaza. This response comes shortly after airstrikes were launched on Gaza, highlighting tensions surrounding the UK government's position on Israel's actions. Although Lammy indicated in the Commons that Israel's conduct now breached international law, the government maintained that it had not changed its official stance and reiterated the risks Israel posed regarding humanitarian law. Critically, they emphasized that it is not the government's role to judge these legal matters, suggesting an ongoing ambiguity in their foreign policy.
"Downing Street has publicly rebutted David Lammy's claim that Israel violated international law regarding aid to Gaza, reinforcing the government's cautious stance on the issue."
"Despite Lammy stating in the Commons that Israel's actions amounted to a clear breach of international law, the government clarified there’s no change in their official position."
