“The UK did right to suspend some arms exports licenses to Israel,” Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said on X, formerly twitter.

“We urge an expansion of this suspension and call on all countries to impose a complete arms embargo on Israel.”

Israel has killed over 40,800 Palestinians in Gaza since October 2023.
