The UK has no choice but to suspend arms sales to Israel, a top ToryMP has said.

Alicia Kearns, the Conservative chairwoman of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee spoke amid concerns about how Israel may be using British-made weapons in attacks.

Ms Kearns told Radio 4 Today programme on Friday (5 April): “It’s important the public understands this isn’t a political decision as some seem to want to present it as.”
