UK DENIES RIFT WITH WASHINGTON OVER ISRAEL ARMS

The UK government is denying there's a rift with Washington over the suspension of some arms exports to Israel.

London announced the suspension this week of 30 arms export licences to Israel over concerns they could be used in violations of international law.

It provoked an angry response from some Israeli politicians - and it was reported the move also concerned figures in the Biden administration in Washington.

But UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy says he's discussed it with the US Secretary of State.

IN: 'I have...
OUT: ...in fact.'
