UK's Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron reaffirmed the UK's decision to maintain arms sales to Israel amid mounting criticism. Despite concerns over Israeli conduct and humanitarian issues in Gaza, Lord Cameron stated that the latest assessment did not warrant a change in export licenses. Labour's shadow foreign secretary criticized the government's stance as inadequate. Meanwhile, in Washington, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken expressed concern over Israel's threatened ground offensive in Rafah and discussed accountability for a recent air strike that killed aid workers. Lord Cameron's private meeting with former President Trump and a failed meeting attempt with a US Republican leader also drew attention.
