Despite mounting global condemnation of the United States for its support of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza—widely characterized as genocidal by legal scholars, human rights groups, and the International Court of Justice—the UK government under Prime Minister Keir Starmer has chosen to deepen its ties with the U.S. through a new trade agreement. This decision comes as evidence accumulates of the U.S. enabling large-scale civilian killings in Gaza via military aid, while also perpetuating human rights violations domestically through its Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.
