Pressure grows over arms sales to Israel ahead of Biden-Netanyahu call

Summary

1. Pressure is growing on the UK government to suspend arms sales to Israel after seven aid workers were killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza
2. More than 600 legal experts have written to the PM saying exports must end because the UK risks breaking international law over a "plausible risk of genocide" in the enclave
3. Meanwhile World Central Kitchen (WCK) founder José Andrés has accused Israeli forces in Gaza of targeting his aid workers "systematically, car by car"
4. Israeli economy minister Nir Barkat told the BBC it was "nonsense" to suggest Israel would deliberately target aid workers
5. Some charities have paused their operations since the strike, increasing fears of starvation
6. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has called for an independent investigation, but stopped short of saying arms sales should end
7. President Biden is due to speak with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later - their first direct contact since the air strike
