At growing number of British Members of Parliament (MPs) have demanded the British government impose sanctions on Israel on Thursday.
Around 84 MPs are demanding the government stop supplying Israel with arms, suspend the UK-Israel trade agreement and ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza, Al Jazeera reported.
The move follows a letter sent to Foreign Secretary David Lammy last on Thursday by 60 MPs originally asking for the government to recognise Palestine as a state to prevent ethnic cleansing.
There are 650 elected MPs in the House of Commons.
