Summary: Ongoing arms sales to Israel by Britain have caused internal strife within the Conservative party. Pressure mounts on Rishi Sunak to halt exports due to Gaza's humanitarian crisis. Calls to end arms sales come from various Conservative figures and opposition leaders. Former minister Nicholas Soames urges the UK to stop providing arms to Israel.
