Scotland’s First Minister Humza Yousaf has written to British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak seeking an “immediate end” to arms sales by the UK to Israel.

Following Israel’s killing of seven aid workers — three of them British — with the World Central Kitchen charity in Gaza, Yousaf said he was writing once again to “demand” that the UK end the sale of arms to Israel.

“The civilian death toll is intolerable, as is the killing of humanitarian workers who deliver vital aid to Palestinians facing starvation and violence at the hands of this Israeli government,” First Minister Yousaf said in his letter to Sunak.

“By not stopping arms sales to Israel, the UK is in danger of being complicit in the killing of innocent civilians,” he said.
