Could a new letter change the UK’s stance on the Israel-Hamas war?
A new letter signed by hundreds of legal professionals has put further pressure on the government to change its stance on Israel.
The letter calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the UK’s supply of arms to Israel.
It’s significant because it’s signed by retired senior judges, who don’t usually get involved with politically sensitive issues.
The letter comes as some of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s own MPs have called on the government to stop UK arms sales to Israel.
