#Israel - Netanyahu calls UK arms suspension to Israel ‘shameful’ | BBC News

x

3 September 2024

The UK has defended its decision to suspend some arms sales to Israel. On 2 September, it suspended around 30 out of 350 weapons export licences to Israel, saying there is a "clear risk" the equipment could be used to commit serious violations of international law. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the decision "shameful", saying on social media that it "will only embolden Hamas". But UK Defence Secretary John Healey insisted the UK remained a "staunch ally" of Israel, telling the BBC Israel's security would not be weakened by the decision. Husam Zomlot, the Palestinians' top envoy to the UK, called the partial ban an “important first step” to the UK’s fulfilment of its “legal obligations under domestic and international law”.

#russia #ukraine - 'Too risky'? Ukraine says West should permit long-range attacks in Russia • FRANCE 24 English

3 September 2024

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday Ukraine's Western allies should not only allow their weapons to be used for strikes deep inside Russia, but also supply Kyiv with more of the arms themselves.


Ukraine has long urged partners to allow it to fire Western weapons at targets far into enemy territory, and those calls have grown louder as Russian airstrikes on Ukrainian energy installations, other infrastructure and residential buildings intensify.


For more, FRANCE 24's Delano D'Souza is joined by Patrick Bury, former NATO analyst and senior lecturer in Security at University of Bath in the UK.


"Putin couldn't control the Russian media and the war bloggers on this, it's all over Russia that the Ukrainians did this."

Russia's strike on Poltava appears to have been carefully targeted as just two missiles were used to hit a facility in the city killing almost fifty people, Zach Anders tells

At least 40 people have been killed and 180 injured after two Russian ballistic missiles hit a military training facility and hospital in a central Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky says.
