"Israel is “flagrantly and regularly” committing war crimes in Gaza, according
to a former British diplomat who recently resigned over ministers’ failure to
ban arms sales to Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.
Mark Smith, who resigned as a counter-terrorism official at the British embassy
in Dublin after raising complaints about the sale of British weapons to Israel,
told the BBC on Monday that he believed Israel to be in breach of international
law.
Smith told Radio 4’s
Today programme: “When you look at what constitutes a
war crime, it’s actually quite clear, even from what you see in open source on
the TV, that the state of Israel is perpetrating war crimes in plain sight.
“Anybody who has a kind of basic understanding of these things can see that
there are war crimes being committed, not once, not twice, not a few times, but
quite flagrantly and openly and regularly.”"
