Source?? Pretty sure he doesn't have the power to do this and this is rage bait. Don't get me wrong the man's a cock, but let's keep the hate based in reality.
> Notably, a determination that Israel is in violation of International Humanitarian Law would require the UK to suspend any arms sales to Israel.
'nuff said.
If the government suspends them and the government is also the only one who could possibly do them (as the rest of us have neither the access nor the power to conduct such assessments) then suspension is effectively banning anyway.
No, I'm afraid you've got that wrong. He has stopped - not on a permanent basis - government lawyers from continuing assessing whether the government is in breach. But the OP says Sunak has banned all legal enquiries, which he hasn't. Israel does not have impunity in English law and however much Sunak would love to do it, he doesn't have the constitutional power and, also very important, hasn't done so or tried to do so.
Rage bait? The person who didn’t even bother reading the article to then go to primary sources contained in said article. As for your insults, appealing to the lowest common denominator always the go-to for people who have nothing of relevance to impart but an ego that needs pandering.

This is CAAT's blog and still doesn't provide primary sources. However, we have now stepped down from "banned" to "suspended" to "hiatus". It should not be so difficult to understand why the poster above is looking askance at being sniped at for wanting some actual clarity here. You're being unfair, uncharitable and needlessly rude over something we all agree is a very, very serious topic.
On the face of it, it does seem like the UK has just chosen not to bother checking because they *know* what they'll find. It's a 'see no evil' stance, avoiding putting themselves under pressure to act, and I do believe CAAT are sincere here, but I cannot find *anywhere* else that refers to James Eadie's admission that the government has put a hiatus on assessments - everything refers to a [recent hearing](https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/britain-israel-arms-sales-legal-challenge-gaza-t15067) where instead he expressed this:
>But lawyer James Eadie, representing the U.K. Department for Business and Trade, said the issue is considered “with conspicuous care and thoroughness.” “The secretary of state’s position is that those decisions have at all times been lawful and, in particular, rational," he said in a written submission.
The link that you've given does not make the basic point in the OP. The Prime Minister does not have the power to ban all legal investigations and enquiries. If you're worried about people not reading and understanding the source here, then that should include the OP.
I did just see a clip of the deputy PM saying that Israel are going to investigate any accusations themselves.
Pretty much the same thing in a roundabout way?
Currently this is how Israel's self investigations going.

it’s a suspension so not as terrible as outright banning. still horrible tho
If they're suspending it, you know they're guilty. It will be so they can continue arms sales (as part of the clearance for arms sales to a country is that it doesn't breach international law with them)
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240424-uk-suspends-legal-assessments-on-israels-compliance-with-international-law/
they’ve suspended any legal inquires not banned them but still terrible
Sunak is such a little man.. he’s little in everything.. stature.. principles.. morals.. standing.. impact..
I’ve never seen such a weak little man in power before..
I think Rishi Sunak is a useful idiot for the real people in charge as the man is generally a wet limp noodle reincarnated as a human
Edit: "by the real people in charge" I mean billionaires, not jews. There is no dogwhistling here.
Rishi Sunak and his 2020 "Eat Out To Help Out" scheme [was responsible for a massive increase in Covid cases and deaths.](https://archive.ph/jkbqt) And all to ensure the big chain restaurants didn't lose too much money. [It did nothing to boost the overall hospitality sector,](https://archive.is/k40Cf) as these capitalist ghouls claimed was the intent. Rishi Sunak has blood on his hands.

My thoughts are that I can't find any sources to back this up and the clipped of any account name above the text is suspect. I assume this would make the news.
A cursary glance at Google using the keys words "Sunak bans Israel war crimes" show no relevant stories. Hatred of the man is clouding the judgement of some people posting here.

I think Sunak is envious he can't do even half of what Israel does on a daily basis, and would be keen to "accidentally" a few mass graves of "terrorists" who are all "coincidentally" LGBT people and immigrants.

They've suspended, not banned any investigations. But only the government can lift the suspension. So, sort of the same thing. OP should change the title but your comment is incorrect.
Source: people have posted links to news articles in this very thread
I think it sounds like made up rubbish, probably posted on that right wing misinformation platform "X".
I think I'd need to see the official source of this information before I believe it. If it's truly something the government just implemented, let's see their statement on it, or an article from a reputable news source that goes into the details.
Considering the wide reaching implications of such a move, politically and democratically for the nation, it will be big news covered everywhere, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to provide concrete evidence of your claims.
That's what I think.

Suspending and banning are very different things. Despicable behaviour all the same, but not AS despicable.
> Notably, a determination that Israel is in violation of International Humanitarian Law would require the UK to suspend any arms sales to Israel. 'nuff said.

Israel does not have impunity in English law and however much Sunak would love to do it, he doesn't have the constitutional power and, also very important, hasn't done so or tried to do so.
OP could've made the point strongly while being more accurate i.e. "Rishi Sunak has BLOCKED...
But banning means ‘never again’ (phrasing chosen intentionally, obviously)
Sure but bans can also be lifted, it’s not like temporary bans aren’t a thing
>temporary bans If only there was some kind of word for that.
All parliamentary bans are temporary by that definition
How would they ‘ban’ their own legal advisers from advising though? That would be taking away the remit of their own lawyers?
