An Israeli arms embargo is “not a wise path” and the UK and America are “in a totally different situation”, the foreign secretary has said.<\/p>\n

Lord Cameron told the Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips Show that it would be “extremely dangerous” for Israel to attempt a major offensive in Rafah.<\/p>\n

But asked if the UK would follow in the US’s footsteps and halt the supply of weapons to Israel if launches an attack on the southernmost city of Gaza – a crucial route for aid – he said the UK and American “are in a totally different situation”.<\/p>\n

“The United States is a massive bulk state supplier of weapons to Israel, including, you know, thousand pound bombs and all the rest of it,” he said.<\/p>\n

“The UK provides less than 1% of Israel’s weapons and is not a state supplier. We have a licensing system and those licences can be closed if it’s judged there’s a serious risk of a serious international human rights.”<\/p>\n

He added an arms embargo would “not be the right path”, saying when he last came under pressure to announce this, “a few days later was a massive Iranian attack on Israel, including 140 cruise missiles. So I don’t think it would have been a wise path.”<\/p>\n

He added: “If I announced that today, it might help me get through this television interview, but actually it would strengthen Hamas. It would weaken Israel.<\/p>\n

“I think it probably makes a hostage deal less likely. So I don’t think some sort of political declaration is the right answer. We should stick with our rigorous process of making sure we act within the law.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
