The former home secretary made the warning as she toured sites in Israel attacked by Hamas on October 7 last year.
The UK and USA must stop “backsliding” in their support for Israel, former home secretary Suella Braverman has said.
During the visit, Ms Braverman criticised the UK for helping to pass a UN Security Council resolution on the conflict in Gaza. “I am angry when I see the backsliding by countries like the US and UK. This is not a time for walking away,” Ms Braverman told the Telegraph.The Tory former minister described Hamas as a “death cult” and insisted it needed to be “totally degraded”, as she warned “these evil forces of terrorism” could present themselves in the UK without action.
Export licences could not continue to be granted for UK arms heading to Israel if there is a risk weapons could be used in a serious violation of international humanitarian law. “And by that, I mean, an anti-Israel sentiment, a pro-Palestine approach to this conflict. And I think that that is very concerning.”As the former home secretary visited Israel, the UK continued airlift measures to deliver aid into conflict-stricken Gaza.
