UK announces partial suspension of arms exports to Israeli occupation

The United Kingdom says it will suspend 30 of 350 arms export licenses to Israeli occupation, citing a “clear risk” they could be used in serious breaches of international humanitarian law.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy told parliament on Monday that the partial ban covers items “which could be used in the current conflict in Gaza” against Hamas but did not include parts for F-35 fighter jets.
