Caabu Press Release:  Downing Street overrules Foreign Secretary’s final recognition that Israel is violating international law - 18 March 2025

In a disgraceful move, No 10 Downing Street has tried to retract the clear statement of the British Foreign Secretary David Lammy accusing Israel of violating international law with its blockade of Gaza. It undermines the government’s claims that it respects international law and exposes a clear chasm between the Prime Minister and his Foreign Secretary.
