Robertson, Angus SNP Edinburgh Central Watch on SPTV

Civilians in Gaza are being bombed and left to starve by Israel on a massive scale. The impact on women and girls is horrific, as the UN commission’s independent inquiry set out in such harrowing clarity. Women and girls in Gaza cannot by any stretch of the imagination be considered responsible for Hamas’s atrocities on 7 October 2023, which also included horrific violence against women and girls, as noted by an earlier report by the commission.

Scottish ministers have consistently called on the UK Government to end all licensed arms exports to Israel. The UK Government’s decision to suspend some arms licences was welcome, but it should go further. The UK Government Secretary of State for Business and Trade said:

“there is a clear risk that military exports to Israel, where used for military operations in Gaza, might be used in serious violations of international humanitarian law”.

For that reason alone, all licensed arms exports should stop.
