UK continues dealing arms to Israel, situation "not comparable" to US

Unlike the US, the UK is not withholding arms to Israel. 

Foreign Secretary David Cameron said that their position is not comparable with that of the US, since the UK is not a large state-to-state arms supplier to Israel. 

However, they don’t support a large-scale invasion of Rafah unless there is a plan to protect civilians in place. 

UK Correspondent Vincent McAviney told Mike Hosking that what the UK provides is export licenses for UK weapons manufacturers to export to Israel. 

He said that it’s a very different situation, and the UK is not going to retract those licenses.
