"The M23 rebels have committed serious abuses against civilians, including torture, killings, and enforced disappearances, violating international humanitarian law and potentially amounting to war crimes."
Foreign Secretary David Lammy stated, "It is with regret...the assessment I have received leaves me unable to conclude anything other than for certain UK arms exports to Israel, there does exist a clear risk they might be used...to commit or facilitate a serious violation of international humanitarian law." This emphasizes the UK's critical stance on arms exports to Israel amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
