Ahead of the UK general election next month, opposition Labour Party leader Keir Starmer suggests his government would review legal advice on arms sales to Israel, Al Jazeera reports.

“It is for the government obviously to review the licences. They do it one by one. They have got legal advice. We’ve been pressing them to disclose that legal advice. And I still press them to disclose that legal advice,” Starmer said at a campaign event at the Fusilier Museum in Bury.

“Obviously, if we’re privileged to come into power, we’ll be able to see that advice or commission our own.

“But look, I will just add this, that the Rafah offensive should not go ahead. And that I think our government should follow the US lead on this in relation to arms sales and review the licences to see whether any of them would be or are being used in the Rafah offensive.”

He added that his “number one priority is to ensure we get a ceasefire”.
