David Cameron to set out UK basis for continuing arms sales to Israel

Foreign secretary's intervention comes as pressure grows on ministers to reveal legal advice over Gaza conflict

David Cameron will set out the UK's reasoning for continuing to export arms to Israel on Tuesday as ministers face ongoing pressure to disclose the official legal advice on the trade.

The foreign secretary will discuss the Middle East crisis with his US counterpart, Antony Blinken, on a visit to Washington where he is also expected to give an update on the UK's arms export regime.
