“History Will Judge Them”: U.K. Suspends Trade Talks with Israel Amid Starvation Campaign

HeadlineMay 21, 2025

The United Kingdom has suspended trade talks with Israel and will impose sanctions on West Bank illegal settlers. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer called Israel’s announcement that it would allow a small quantity of food into Gaza for its starving population of over 2 million “totally and utterly inadequate.” This is British Foreign Secretary David Lammy.

David Lammy: “The world is judging. History will judge them. Blocking aid, expanding the war, dismissing the concerns of your friends and partners, this is indefensible, and it must stop.”
