More than 300 UK Foreign Office staff, who voiced concerns about potential British “complicity” in Israel's actions in Gaza, were told they could resign if they fundamentally disagreed with government policy, BBC reported on Tuesday.
This came, according to the BBC, after an internal letter sent to Foreign Secretary David Lammy last month criticized the UK's continued arms sales to Israel and accused the Israeli government of a “stark… disregard for international law.”
The staff's letter, dated May 16 and obtained by the BBC, highlighted Israel's restrictions on aid to Gaza, the killing of 15 humanitarian workers in March, and settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank.
