UK Officially Accuses Israel of Breaking International Law Over Gaza Aid Blockade

Foreign Secretary David Lammy condemns Israel's two-week blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza, marking a significant shift in UK policy.

David Lammy, the UK Foreign Secretary, stated in Parliament that Israel's two-week blockade of aid to Gaza constitutes a breach of international law.
Israel has blocked food, fuel, and medicine deliveries to Gaza since March 2, 2025, as part of its strategy to pressure Hamas during ceasefire negotiations.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza, affecting over 2 million people, has been described by UK officials as 'hugely alarming and very worrying.'
This is the first time the UK has explicitly accused Israel of violating international law, reflecting a shift in its historically cautious stance on the issue.
The UK government is not currently considering further arms export license suspensions to Israel despite mounting criticism over the blockade.
