Will be the #HomeOffice applying ban on #PalestineAction, it's #ShabanaMahmood who would have to decide on that, also #armssales is under remit of the #TradeSecretary, I think it would need Cabinet approval, #AndyBurnham has more influence on these things as #PM.

"Ed, do the right thing, do it this week: lift the ban on Palestine Action, agree with UN Enquiry, the ICJ, the many lawyers all over the world: Israel is guilty of genocide. Stop all arms sales, use all diplomatic & economic powers to show that we're no longer complicit in this horrific genocide"👇

The new UK Government should impose an embargo on arms sales to Israel.

In line with international law, and the ICJ ruling on there being a case of plausible genocide in the Gaza war, there should be an embargo on arms sales to Israel.
