Four senior former British Army officers – Brigadier John Deverell, Lieutenant General Sir Andrew Graham, Major General Peter Currie, and Major General Charlie Herbert – have urged Labour leader Keir Starmer to impose a full arms embargo on Israel and ban any dealings with Israeli defence companies.

They warned that the fragile ceasefire in Gaza does not justify a return to "business as usual." The officers stated that Israeli military practices violate British standards, citing the use of indiscriminate munitions, large-scale civilian deaths, infrastructure destruction, detainee torture, and targeting of hospitals and schools. They called for an immediate halt to all forms of support, including Royal Air Force operations, military technology transfers, and training of Israeli officers in UK academies.

The statement comes as the British Army considers awarding a £2 billion training contract to the Israeli company Elbit Systems, competing with a consortium led by Raytheon UK.

“It’s not that we were invisible, but the world chose not to see us.”

Gaza journalist and writer Saja Hamdan breaks down as she exposes the moral collapse of global media and political systems amid Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Hamdan says that after two years of relentless slaughter, hyper-visibility did not bring justice or protection, but instead revealed deliberate political and media complicity, with outlets sanitizing language, governments ignoring mass protests, and so-called democracies silencing the will of their people.

She argues that the problem was never public empathy, but state power shielding genocide, where Western regimes masquerade authoritarianism behind elections and institutions.

Hamdan reaffirms faith in humanity itself, insisting that education, conscience, and resistance must prevail, not only to free Palestine, but to liberate a world that has normalized oppression.

"We Did Not Surrender & Will Not Abandon Our Struggle for Liberation"

As Trump pushes his NotAPeace plan, "the Palestinian resistance says Israel is continuing its pattern of abusing “peace” agreements to further its war of annihilation."

"What is happening in Gaza is not a ceasefire, but a lower intensity, slower-paced killing operation by an Israeli regime daring Palestinians to fight back."
