Humphrey Cobbold appeared on the BBC programme and said he was ‘deeply concerned’ Israel’s bombardment in Gaza, which has killed 34,000 .
Question Time host Fiona Bruce asked him whether the UK Government should halt arms sales after US president Joe Biden said the US will not supply offensive weapons for an assault on Raffah.
Mr Cobbold replied: ‘They’ve stopped some big bombs which sounds like a very sensible thing to stop doing.
‘I certainly think any weapons that are required for defence and for the Iron Dome, I see no reason why we wouldn’t do that.
‘We saw horrendous attacks on Israel from Iran that were dealt with partly by British and American forces as well as we saw and I think defensive weapons should still be allowed to go through.
‘As I stand at the moment, I think we should support in general the Israeli government in being able to defend themselves. Remember Hamas is a prescribed terrorist organisation that has insisted on deciding to eradicate Jews and eradicate Israel and we’ve got to remember that when we deal with this.
‘And that’s absolutely not the fault of the Palestinian in general. They deserve more protection than they’re getting I agree with that but we must remember those facts.’
