UK Foreign Secretary okayed arms sales to Israel despite legal concerns

David Cameron recommended British arms sales to Israel despite "serious concerns" in the Foreign Office that it had breached international law in Gaza, according to a government document filed in the High Court.

The document, which has been reviewed by Middle East Eye, was filed by the government in its defence to a challenge brought by legal and human rights groups attempting to stop UK arms sales to Israel for its ongoing campaign in Gaza.

In multiple reports between 10 November and 8 December, the unit raised several concerns about Israel's compliance with the law, according to the court filing.
