United Kingdom Partially Suspends Arms Exports to Israel Following Review

The UK has suspended 30 out of 350 arms export licences to Israel due to concerns that UK arms might be used to commit a violation of international humanitarian law. The suspension specifically covers components for military aircraft, including fighter aircraft, helicopters, and drones. The UK has not reached a definitive conclusion on whether its arms exports have contributed to the destruction in Gaza. The UK continues to support Israel's right to self-defense in accordance with international law.
