Foreign Secretary David Lammy has called for arms exports to Israel to be stopped, if it is found that they broke international law to carry out airstrikes, which killed three British aid workers.

Lammy said: "I have now been calling for 12 days for David Cameron to publish the legal advice, so that we are clear on whether Israel has contravened international humanitarian law and therefore arms sales should be suspended.

"All of the British public can see the scenes coming out of Gaza, children lying in rubble, deep concerns being made about international human rights law. And for all of those reasons, that advice should be published.

"And if it is the case that international law has been contravened, then it's absolutely right that offensive arms are suspended to Israel."
