The UK has announced the suspension of 30 out of 350 arms export licences to Israel, citing concerns over potential violations of international humanitarian law. Foreign Secretary David Lammy stated that the decision was made due to a 'clear risk' that the exported arms could be used in a manner that breaches international law, particularly in the context of the ongoing Gaza conflict. The suspended licences include exports for fighter aircraft and drone spares, among others. This move reflects the UK's commitment to ensuring compliance with international humanitarian standards and the treatment of detainees and access to humanitarian aid in conflict zones. The government's decision has sparked discussions on the implications for UK-Israel relations and the broader international stance on arms exports and human rights.
