Government legal advice on UK arms sales to Israel is being “constantly reviewed”, a minister said this morning amid growing pressure on Rishi Sunak to suspend the exports. 

Gareth Davies, a Treasury minister, said the UK has “one of the most robust systems of arms exports controls in the world”.  

Asked if the Government will stop the sale of arms to Israel, Mr Davies told Sky News: “There are robust processes in place to gather evidence, to assess that, as well as advice that the government receives and that advice is being constantly reviewed.”

There have been growing calls for the Government to ban arms exports to Israel in the wake of an airstrike that killed seven aid workers, including three Britons. 

The Government is also facing demands to publish any legal advice it may have received on the legality of Israel’s actions in Gaza.
