UK Says It’s Imposing Some Restrictions On Sale Of Arms To Israel
15 July 2009
Following a review of defense exports to Israel the British government decided to cancel five export licenses out of 182 reviewed, according to a report in the Haaretz newspaper. The cancelled licenses cover supplying spare parts for the Sa'ar ships which were used during the Israeli onslaught on Gaza last December. The British government was under pressure from human rights organizations and some members of parliament to review its sales of arms to Israel after the Israeli war on Gaza. The decision which was welcomed by pro-Palestinian activists was said to be a step in the right direction, but not enough. Galloway declares intention to organize lifeline-3 with participation of Chavez Meanwhile, British MP George Galloway has announced that he was planning a third charity convoy lifeline-3 with the participation of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. Galloway told Egyptian newspaper 'Al-Masri Al-Youm' published on Saturday that he would continue to organize relief convoys to lift the siege on the Palestinians. The MP, who is in Cairo to lead lifeline-2 convoy to the Gaza Strip with the participation of 200 Americans, said that the Zionist lobby in the USA tried to block the convoy with three requests with the American attorney general but failed. He denied Israeli accusations that he was biased in favor of Hamas, saying that he was never a Hamas supporter but was a supporter of democracy that brought Hamas to power. Galloway said that lifeline-2 includes an American congressman, a former congresswoman and the father of the director of the Democratic Party and his brother along with numerous other officials.
