Episode description

The fallout continues from the UK's decision to suspend some arms sale licenses to Israel. Defence Secretary John Healey insists the UK remains a 'staunch ally' of Israel, yet the decision has been criticised by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as 'shameful'. What has the domestic reaction been to the government's decision, and who is it designed to please? 

Patrick Gibbons speaks to Katy Balls and Michael Stephens, associate fellow at RUSI. 

Produced by Patrick Gibbons.
