LONDON, May 20 (Xinhua) -- British Foreign Secretary David Lammy announced on Tuesday that Britain has suspended trade negotiations with Israel over its Gaza blockade. Lammy also said the Israeli ambassador had been summoned.

Lammy said in a statement in the House of Commons, lower house of the British parliament, that Israel's blockade of Gaza is "morally wrong, unjustifiable, and it needs to stop."

Lammy said she thinks all lawmakers "should be able to utterly condemn the Israeli government's denial of food to hungry children."
