Over 300 prominent British figures, including pop star Dua Lipa and actor Benedict Cumberbatch, have urged UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to end arms sales to Israel and act to stop the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The open letter, released by NGO Choose Love, demands an immediate ceasefire, unrestricted aid access, and accountability for the UK's role in supplying weapons used in the conflict. The plea comes amid reports of 15,000 children killed and rising starvation in Gaza. The signatories warn that continued arms exports make the UK “directly complicit” in the ongoing atrocities.
