Things seem to have moved after the Cabinet meeting this morning, but there are some pretty big caveats:
[The announcement] will stipulate the need for the release of all the hostages still held by Hamas and be based on a guarantee the terror group no longer rules Gaza, sources say.
Also made me wonder how Starmer’s conversation with Trump went yesterday. Not good?
Uk has no eminent security risk so there is no reason to by and sells arms from/to israel. Israel is the 44th trading parner of the uk so they can also impose sanctions on israel
Israel is the 44th trading partners of Israel? Sorry what the fuck are you trying to say here?
Ok makes sense now you’ve edited it 😀
I mean israel is only uk’s 44th trade partner accounting for only about 0.3% of total UK trade. The uk could impose sanctions on israel
Is direct trade that only issue that determines whether or not sanctions could be applied?
Surely there’s general politics bulshittery in the mix ?
Well I guess it’s about the degree of leverage that you have. Trading is… A big stick.
