Dominic Raab, the Foreign Secretary, has said Britain’s policy of repatriating the children of Britons who went abroad to join Islamic State will be reviewed.  In a statement to parliament he said: “We do not want to see foreign Islamic State fighters return to this country, but we will consider returns of minors and orphans.” He added that Britain was suspending military exports to Turkey following its invasion of northern Syria as it carries out a review of arms sales to its Nato ally.  “We will keep our defence exports to Turkey under very careful and continual review,” Mr Raab said.  “No further export licences to Turkey for items which might be used in military operations in Syria will be granted while we conduct that review.” The statement came after three British orphaned children of Islamic State fighters, who went missing after their camp in Syria came under Turkish attack, were rescued by the UN.

The case of Shamima Begum, one of the Bethnal Green schoolgirls who went to join Islamic State in Syria, highlighted the thorny diplomatic issue. She was stripped of her British nationality in February after giving a series of interviews to British media asking to come to the UK to face justice. Her newborn son died in Al Hol, a notoriously dangerous camp for wives of Islamic State fighters, days after the decision to remove her British citizenship was made by Sajid Javid, then the Home Secretary.  Ankara’s assault against Kurdish forces launched last week has prompted a chorus of international condemnation. Mr Raab said it had “seriously undermined the security and stability of the region”. “This is not the action we expected from an ally, it is reckless, counterproductive, it plays straight into the hands of Russia and the Assad regime,” he told parliamentarians. Mr Raab’s condemnation of Turkish actions in the region came after Ben Wallace, the defence secretary, shocked delegates at a Nato meeting in London when he said: “Turkey needs to do what it sometimes has to do to defend itself”.  Plight of the Kurds | Timeline of Western involvement Mr Wallace’s statement prompted accusations that Britain was trying to avoid upsetting Ankara in order to get a Free Trade Agreement post Brexit.   Britain’s arms sales suspension follows similar moves by key European and Nato allies, including Germany – one of Turkey’s main arms suppliers – and France. Meanwhile US President Donald Trump warned Monday that Turkey faces imminent sanctions over its actions but also signalled that Washington would avoid any armed conflict with Ankara. Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said threats of sanctions and arms embargoes by Western powers will not stop the military offensive. “Those who think they can make Turkey turn back with these threats are gravely mistaken,” he said in a televised speech on Sunday.
