November 21, 2019 "Information Clearing House" - The UK's Labour Party pledged to halt arms sales to Israel and Saudi Arabia, as part of its ambitious manifesto released on Thursday morning.
Labour vowed to "conduct a root-and-branch reform of our arms exports regime so ministers can never again turn a blind eye to British-made weapons being used to target innocent civilians".
Human rights abuses in the Middle East took up a large part of the manifesto's foreign policy section, which Labour believes if fixed could bring stability to the region.
The party promised to "reform the international rules-based order to secure justice and accountability for breaches of human rights and international law, such as the bombing of hospitals in Syria, the illegal blockade of the Gaza Strip, the use of rape as a weapon of war against the Rohingya community in Myanmar and the indiscriminate bombardment of civilians in Yemen".
