Member of Parliament for the United Kingdom, Ellie Reeves, has accused Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Foreign Secretary David Cameron of potentially violating international humanitarian law through their actions or facilitation. The Labour Party member faced a question from the presenter, asking why Labour didn't go further, saying, "It's got to stop," referring to sales.
