Some west states propose cutting weapon, technology to Israel

TEHRAN, Apr. 30 (MNA) – Several Western countries have proposed introducing cuts in weapons sales and impose restrictions on delivering technologies to Israel in a package of measures discussed during a two-day meeting in Saudi Arabia's capital.

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, the League of Arab States and a number of European countries discussed measures that may be applied against Israel and countries supporting it in the Gaza conflict at the meeting in Riyadh on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported on Tuesday, citing sources.

The discussion aimed to involve as many countries as possible in the package of "pressure elements" that contains a proposal on airspace restrictions, among other things, the report said.

Earlier on Tuesday, Politico reported that a group of more than 90 US lawyers, including at least 20 from the presidential administration, called on US President Joe Biden to stop military aid to Israel because of its actions in the Gaza Strip, which they said contradict US and international humanitarian law.

Israel waged a genocidal war on the besieged Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas Resistance group carried out a historic operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for the regime’s intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

Israel has imposed a complete siege on the densely populated territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
