The government’s withholding of all information about nine Israeli military jets raises suspicions about further British complicity in war crimes in Gaza, Matt Kennard reports.
The complaint includes the export of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel and provision of military surveillance through the Joint Defense Facility Pine Gap in Australia’s Northern Territory.
While welcoming the news, the head of Defense for Children International-Palestine said that “each day that passes without an end to Israel’s genocidal campaign results in catastrophe for Palestinian children in Gaza.”
The “Transatlantic Civil Servants’ Statement on Gaza” signals mounting dissent inside Western governments over support for Israel’s war on Gaza as famine and disease spread across the enclave.
