UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that “the UK does not directly sell arms to Israel, unlike the US” during a parliamentary session on Wednesday.

His remarks came after he was asked by Labour MP Richard Burgon why the government does not put an end to arms sales to Israel which has destroyed a large part of the Gaza Strip and killed over 30,000 Palestinians.

The UK has been criticised over continuing arms export licences to Israel. Sunak reiterated that the UK's position on arms export licences to Israel remains unchanged.
