10:24Now PlayingThe UK will suspend some arms sales to Israel, the Foreign Secretary has said.
David Lammy told MPs on Monday afternoon that there was a "clear risk" that the sales could result in arms being used in a way that could breach international law.
Mr Lammy said that the UK is suspending around 30 export licenses for arms and military equipment, out of a total of 350.
This will affect equipment like military aircraft, helicopters and drones.
The government does not supply arms to Israel directly, but does grant licenses to private companies to sell to Israel. Last year British companies sold around £42 million worth of military equipment to Israel.
Andrew Marr is joined by LBC's Natasha Clark and Aggie Chambre, as well as former British diplomat Lord Simon McDonald and former Defence Secretary Grant Shapps.
