flag UK Labour’s conference urges arms embargo on Israel over Gaza genocide claims, amid internal party division.

flag The UK Labour Party’s 2025 conference passed an emergency motion calling for a full arms embargo on Israel and sanctions against settlements in the West Bank, citing a UN report alleging genocide in Gaza. flag Backed by Unison and Palestinian advocacy groups, the non-binding resolution reflects growing internal pressure, despite Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s refusal to use the term genocide and continued approval of military licenses. flag Deputy PM David Lammy stated only international courts can legally determine genocide, though he acknowledged Israel may have breached humanitarian law. flag A similar motion on arms exports failed. flag The vote intensifies debate over Labour’s foreign policy and UK support for Israel.
