Chairman of the Democrats Major General (Res.) Yair Golan began an official visit to the UK today, becoming the first Israeli leader to meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other top officials, including Foreign Secretary David Lammy, Deputy Foreign Secretary for Middle Eastern Affairs Hamish Plunkett, and Attorney General Lord Richard Harmer.
Two key goals
Golan and Rayten stated, “We are here for two key goals – to continue applying international pressure for the return of hostages and to engage in constructive dialogue with the British government in an effort to reverse the decision on arms exports to Israel.”
The UK’s government has suspended around 30 arms export licenses to Israel for use in Gaza over international humanitarian law concerns.
