The UK foreign secretary, as he concludes his joint press conference with his US counterpart, has said his country’s position on arms sales to Israel remains unchanged, Al Jazeera reports.

“The latest assessment leaves our position on export licences unchanged. This is consistent with the advice that I and other ministers have received,” David Cameron said.

“And as ever, we will keep the position under review.”

When asked for more detail by a reporter, Cameron refused to elaborate on what legal advice his government was given when assessing whether or not to restrict arms sales to Israel.
