UK Halts Trade Talks With Israel Over Gaza Crisis

The UK suspends free trade talks with Israel over Gaza actions. In a significant development, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy announced the suspension of free trade negotiations with Israel. Lammy's statement, delivered during a parliamentary session, directly points to the Israeli government's actions in Gaza and the ongoing blockade of the Gaza Strip as the primary reason for this decision. He stated, "Regrettably, Madam Deputy Speaker, despite our efforts, this Israeli government's egregious actions and rhetoric have continued." The suspension marks a strong response from the UK government to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the international criticism of Israel's actions.
