Liberal Democrats leader Sir Ed Davey has claimed that ending British arms exports to Israel will send a "powerful signal", as the violent conflict against Hamas continues.

Davey told reporters: "It does look like Israel has broken humanitarian law, and we really shouldn't be exporting arms to any country that breaks international humanitarian law. And the Democrats have been calling for a long time for immediate bilateral ceasefire.

"The Israelis have not listened to international pressure on that. And so I think by ending British arms exports to Israel, it will send a very, very powerful signal."
