Lib Dem foreign affairs spokesperson met Israeli president accused of inciting genocide Imran Mulla on Wed, 03/11/2026 - 10:36 MP Calum Miller met Isaac Herzog on a trip organised by Lib Dem Friends of Israel last month Calum Miller posing for a photograph with Israeli President Isaac Herzog in February 2026 (Screengrab/X/Liberal Democrat Friends of Israel) Off The Liberal Democrat party's foreign affairs spokesperson Calum Miller has been photographed meeting Israeli President Isaac Herzog in February - after Herzog was found to have incited genocide by the United Nations' top investigative body on Palestine and Israel. The meeting came on a trip last month, not previously reported in the British press, which Middle East Eye understands was organised by the Liberal Democrat Friends of Israel (LDFI) group. The Lib Dems have accused Israel of genocide and party leader Ed Davey boycotted the royal banquet held for visiting US President Donald Trump last year over Gaza. Members of the delegation to Israel last month included former party leader Tim Farron and the honorary president of LDFI, Lord Monroe Palmer.

'Genocide': How the Liberal Democrats became a pro-Palestine party Read More » The president said on 13 October 2023 that "it’s an entire nation out there that is responsible [for the Hamas attack on 7 October]. It is not true, this rhetoric about civilians who were not aware and not involved. It is absolutely not true." A Lib Dem spokesperson defended the trip, telling MEE: "As liberals, we believe it's vital to engage with all sides of the conflict, even on those issues where we fundamentally disagree." The Liberal Democrat Friends of Palestine group told MEE: "We were dismayed to learn that our foreign affairs spokeperson and MPs met the president of a country that the party recognises as having committed genocide, especially when the president himself is accused by the UN commission of inquiry of incitement to genocide." Miller said: "My role as a foreign affairs spokesperson is to engage with representatives of other countries, to listen, to challenge and to engage. "There will be no just peace if there is no dialogue," he told MEE. "I respect the views of those who disagree but I will continue to be open to exchange." 'Entirely inappropriate' The Lib Dem delegation visited sites of the 7 October Hamas attack, where they were photographed with members of the Israeli military. They also engaged with opposition figures including Yair Lapid, the leader of the Yesh Atid party, and met the Palestinian mayor of Ramallah, Issa Kassis, in the occupied West Bank. According to Israeli media reports, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir denied a request by the Lib Dem delegation to meet a senior police officer in Jerusalem because of their meeting with Kassis.

The party has also been criticised by the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP). The group's head of public affairs and communications, Jonathan Purcell, told MEE: "It’s entirely inappropriate for the Lib Dem’s foreign spokesperson to meet with the Israeli president, who has been found by the UN commission of inquiry to be inciting genocide.

A security source said "a bombing targeted an arms depot at a military base", which mainly hosts the powerful Asaib Ahl al-Haq group in the eastern Wasit province. He added that "a woman was killed when shrapnel from a rocket fell near her after the strike". A health official confirmed her death and said another person was seriously wounded.

Iran says oil will reach $200 a barrel, warns of 'continuous strikes' Iran will switch from "reciprocal hits" after attacks to continuous strikes on adversaries, and the US will not be able to control oil prices, the spokesperson for Tehran's Khatam al-Anbiya military command headquarters said on Wednesday. "We won't allow even one litre of oil to reach the US Zionists (Israel) and their partners. Any vessel or tanker bound to them will be a legitimate target," Ebrahim Zolfaqari said. "Get ready for the oil barrel to be at $200 because the oil price depends on the regional security which you have destabilised," he added.

Turkish arms subsidiary rebrands after sales to Israel sparks Iran war backlash Ragip Soylu on Wed, 03/11/2026 - 11:05 Repkon’s US subsidiary will now be known as Paligen Technologies following public backlash over ammunition sales to Israel Repkon's logo can be seen at the Eurosatory Defense and Security expo in the Paris-Nord Villepinte exhibition centre on 21 June 2024 (Artur Widak/NurPhoto/Reuters) Off When the Turkish arms company Repkon announced that it was entering the US market in late 2024, the move was hailed by both the Turkish government and the defence industry. At the time, Turkey's public news agency said the struggling US arms industry, long dominated by American corporations, had found relief through Turkish defence companies signing agreements to build production lines for 155mm artillery rounds.  The agreements saw Repkon's US subsidiary, Repkon USA, sign separate deals to design and build a production line for 155mm artillery combustible cartridge cases in Texas. A year and a half later, however, the once-heavy praise heaped on Repkon USA by Turkish officials and agencies appears to have evaporated, with many now seeking to distance themselves from the company.  On Tuesday, Repkon USA announced that it had changed its name and would now be known as Paligen Technologies, Inc., describing itself as a US-based defence contractor. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The abrupt name change came days after the US State Department said that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was bypassing congressional review to approve a munitions sale to Israel.  Repkon USA was listed as the principal contractor for 12,000 BLU-110A/B general-purpose 1,000-pound bomb bodies, with an estimated total cost of $151.8m. BLU-110 bombs have been widely used by Israel during its war on Gaza, which Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, B’Tselem and a United Nations commission have concluded amounts to genocide or genocidal acts. Friday's announcement sparked an immediate backlash on Turkish social media, with critics lamenting that a Turkish subsidiary was now supplying weapons to Israel during its war on Iran. 'Let's just say a US company that refuses a US government sale won't stay in business long' - US defence industry expert Protesters demonstrated outside the company's headquarters in Istanbul, accusing it of being an accomplice to the "murderous USA and Israel". Turkish opposition MPs filed official inquiries with the government to determine whether the company’s March 2025 purchase of General Dynamics-Ordnance and Tactical Systems, known as GD-OTS Garland Operations - which produces the bomb bodies destined for Israel - had been approved by or coordinated with the Turkish government. While Ankara has so far remained silent on the issue, it has also made no supportive statements about the company, suggesting a degree of discomfort.  There also appear to be mixed feelings about a private company that excelled in arms production in line with government ambitions for the defence industry, only to become embroiled in a sale to Israel. Repkon's parent company in Turkey then went on the defensive. In an official statement, the company said it had no say in the transaction and denied responsibility. Could Turkey have refused the sale? Many in Turkey have now questioned whether the company could have refused the sale to Israel. The picture is somewhat complicated. Rich Outzen, a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and an expert on military affairs, said a company cannot be forced to sell ordnance through a foreign military sale. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); He said subsidiaries, in this case Repkon USA, make their own decisions, and most companies prefer to sell. "If [the] Repkon mothership objected to a Repkon USA deal, it would depend on the management rules between the two. But generally speaking, subsidiaries make their own business decisions,' he added. A Repkon official told MEE that business decisions were largely taken by its subsidiary, whose management consists almost entirely of US citizens. The official said the proposed sale was a transaction for bomb bodies conducted with the US military, and that the end user was "the US military," not Israel. The official also argued that, as a matter of procedure, one cannot simply say no to the US government. Hakan Fidan reveals failed Turkish attempts to stop Iran war Read More » As this was an emergency sale, it may be true that the transaction was rushed by the US government. However, another sale announced by the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency in February 2025 indicates that Repkon USA, along with Boeing, was a sole contractor for a large munitions and guidance kit sale to Israel worth $675.7m. The deal included 201 units of MK 83 MOD 4/MOD 5 general-purpose 1,000-pound bomb bodies and 4,799 units of BLU-110A/B general-purpose 1,000-pound bomb bodies, which were produced by Repkon USA.  The remaining guidance kits were to be manufactured by Boeing. Deliveries were scheduled to begin in 2028. The Repkon official said the company acquired Garland Operations in March and that the latest transaction had already been arranged by General Dynamics before the takeover. Asked about the sudden name change this week, the official said the company wanted to underline the fact that it is an American corporation operating under US law. The official also argued that anti-boycott laws in the US prevent the subsidiary from refusing sales to Israel. Several US laws do indeed prohibit boycotts of Israel, including regulations enforced through the Office of Antiboycott Compliance. A US defence industry expert, speaking on condition of anonymity, said while Repkon USA could theoretically reject transactions involving Israel, the consequences of saying no to the US government under the Foreign Military Sales system would likely be severe. "Let's just say a US company that refuses a US government sale won't stay in business long," the expert said.
