British Diplomat Resigns Over Arms Sales to Israel Amidst Gaza War Crimes Allegations

A high-ranking British diplomat has resigned in protest against arms sales to Israel amidst ongoing allegations of war crimes in Gaza. Mark Smith, formerly an anti-terror officer at the British Embassy in Dublin, cited the Israeli government's actions as violations of international law, leading to his decision to step down. His resignation comes at a time when the Israeli military is conducting airstrikes on schools housing displaced people, resulting in civilian casualties. Smith's call for his colleagues to join him in opposing arms exports reflects growing tensions over the UK's role in the conflict.
