Dua Lipa, Gary Lineker, and Benedict Cumberbatch join more than 300 figures urging PM to 'end UK complicity' in Gaza
- Over 300 UK public figures, including Dua Lipa, signed a letter urging Prime Minister Keir Starmer on May 2025 to immediately suspend all arms sales to Israel and broker a ceasefire for Gaza.
- The letter, led by charity Choose Love, follows warnings from more than 800 UK lawyers who declared that genocide is being committed in Gaza amid Israel's expanded military operations.
- Signatories highlight an 11-week blockade recently lifted, acute malnutrition affecting 71,000 children in Gaza, and urgent calls for humanitarian access as food and medicine remain blocked near the border.
- Last September, the UK government halted approval for 30 out of approximately 350 arms export licenses destined for Israel, citing a significant risk of violating humanitarian law, while still denying some military equipment licenses amid demands for a complete embargo.
- The letter urges ending the UK's complicity in Gaza's crisis, stressing that without immediate action, children are starving while global attention and political pressure increase on all parties to agree to ceasefire.
