Netanyahu calls UK arms suspension to Israel ‘shameful’ | BBC News
The UK has defended its decision to suspend some arms sales to Israel.
On 2 September, it suspended around 30 out of 350 weapons export licences to Israel, saying there is a “clear risk” the equipment could be used to commit serious violations of international law.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the decision “shameful”, saying on social media that it “will only embolden Hamas”.
But UK Defence Secretary John Healey insisted the UK remained a “staunch ally” of Israel, telling the BBC Israel’s security would not be weakened by the decision.
Husam Zomlot, the Palestinians’ top envoy to the UK, called the partial ban an “important first step” to the UK’s fulfilment of its “legal obligations under domestic and international law”.

Entrepreneurs in New Jersey are making it big importing mangoes from India.
Yakin Shah and Bharat Kumar Parasana import about $20,000-worth at a time and sell them to their neighbours through WhatsApp.
Bharat said he spent more than $1 million importing the fruit last year.
This year, however, he’s spending more due to the war in the Middle East pushing up flight prices.
Mango correspondent Samira Hussain finds that in one New Jersey grocery store, a mango that typically goes for roughly 70 cents in India will sell for $5.

The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has rejected the terms of a US-backed ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
In a strongly-worded statement, the Iran-backed group’s leader Naim Qassem said negotiations had been “futile” and “humiliating” for Lebanon, and rejected categorically by “broad segments of the Lebanese people”.
It comes after Israel and Lebanon announced a renewal of their fragile ceasefire with the creation of “pilot” security zones inside Lebanon in which Hezbollah operatives would be banned.
In a joint statement released on Wednesday by the US State Department, the three countries said the deal was “contingent on a complete cessation” of fire by Hezbollah.
