Protesters march on Labour conference, call for ending arms sale to Israel

Hundreds of pro-Palestine protesters marched on Labour’s annual conference, the first after Andy Burnham took over as prime minister, in Liverpool and called for an end to UK arms sales to Israel. Some of the protesters called for expanding the sanctions, which were imposed by the UK government recently on West Bank settlements, to all of Israel. Britain has announced the country's strongest package of sanctions against Israel’s illegal settlements, targeting the trade, finance and services that sustain their expansion across the occupied West Bank.
