The UK has ended around 30 out of 350 export licences because of concerns the weapons could be used in violations of international humanitarian law in the Gaza conflict.
Rishi Sunak fears that the Government's suspension of certain arms exports to Israel may damage Britain's relationship with the US.
But former prime minister Mr Sunak warned that it was important for nations to stand together 'in the face of terrorist threats'. A major diplomatic row has unfolded over Labour's decision – with Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling it 'shameful'. Sir Keir said he had 'talked this through with our allies, they understand, they have a different legal system, that is the point they have made'.
Sir Keir Starmer claimed yesterday that Britain's allies 'understand' the move and insisted it was a 'legal not a policy decision'
