According to recent reports from multiple foreign media, an official from the British Foreign Office resigned due to dissatisfaction with Britain's sale of weapons to Israel. In his resignation letter, he said:Britain may be "complicit in war crimes".

According to reports, the resigned diplomat is named Mark Smith, an official in charge of counter-terrorism affairs at the British Embassy in Ireland. In his resignation letter, he wrote that he had previously been engaged in licensing assessments for the British government's arms exports to the Middle East.His colleagues bear witness “daily” to “clear and undoubted” war crimes committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip, as well as violations of international humanitarian law. Britain continues to sell weapons to Israel, lacking any justification, but somehow continues to do so.Mark Smith said that he had complained internally many times before resigning, including through official reporting channels, but only received a perfunctory response: "Thank you, we have noted your concerns."

After the resignation letter was disclosed, Mark Smith subsequently stated that he had written to the British Foreign Secretary to inform him of his resignation and urged him to urgently review Britain's attitude towards the situation in Gaza.
