A British diplomat has resigned in protest against arms deliveries to Israel amid the ongoing Gaza conflict, citing complicity in war crimes. His resignation coincides with reports of hostages found dead in Gaza, raising questions about the circumstances of their deaths.
Mark Smith, a former anti-terror officer at the British Embassy in Dublin, expressed his concerns over the UK's arms sales to Israel, stating that he can no longer support what he describes as clear violations of international law. His letter highlights the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and calls for his colleagues to take a stand against these arms exports.
The Israeli army is currently investigating the deaths of six hostages recently recovered from Gaza, with reports indicating that bullets were found in their bodies. The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant casualties on both sides, with over 40,000 reported deaths in Gaza and numerous hostages still held by Hamas.
