John Chapman, 57, James 'Jim' Henderson, 33, and James Kirby, 47, were working for a charity's security team when they were killed by an Israeli air strike on Monday.
Outrage at the deaths of three British veterans among aid workers in Gaza has led to growing calls for the UK to suspend arms sales to Israel.
Mr Chapman, Mr Henderson and Mr Kirby were all former members of Britain's Armed Forces, with their deaths described as a 'grave mistake' by Israel. PM Rishi Sunak told his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu he was 'appalled' by the killing of aid workers and demanded a 'thorough' investigation The crossbench peer told Sky News: 'I would like to see at this point the UK decide that they are going to suspend arms export licences to Israel.
He added: 'Sometimes in conflict, you get a moment where there's such global outrage that it crystalises a sense that things can't go on like this.Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said: 'The deaths of these British aid workers in Gaza is an absolute disgrace. These brave people were trying to help starving families in Gaza.
In his phone call with Mr Netanyahu last night, Mr Sunak warned the situation in Gaza was 'increasingly intolerable' with 'far too many aid workers and ordinary civilians' having been killed.
