Robert O'Brien cautioned that imposing a UK arms embargo on Israel could provoke serious rifts in the UK-US special relationship, with implications for the F-35 project.
O'Brien emphasized that a ban on arms sales could jeopardize the UK's participation in the F-35 project and face retaliatory measures from US Congress.
He observed that there’s a risk of the UK being sidelined in high-tech collaborations, as much of its technology is dependent on cooperation with Israel.
The warning was a signal of potential tensions for a Labour government pursuing a human rights-based foreign policy amidst US rhetoric.
