"The UK is directly aiding and abetting these atrocities, providing Israel with material support at a time when the ICC has arrest warrants out for two of its leaders.”

Khem Rogaly, who is researching British military involvement in the war on Gaza, highlighted US military cargo and British spy plane flights from UK airbases in Cyprus, as well as the British-made components in Israel’s F-35 jets and British participation in the defence of Israel.

“This is not only about arms export licenses - but active collaboration, logistical support, supplies and supporting missions that have been ongoing for 14 months,” Rogaly said.

“This means Britain is not only failing in its third-party obligations under international law but are longstanding active participants in the crimes outlined today.”

And so the Palestinians from northern Gaza speaking in London - either in person or on video - were doing so in the knowledge that Israel was attacking them and their families with the help of Britain, even while the British government continues to call for a ceasefire.
