UK suspends some arms exports to Israel

· 1 min read

BBC:

The UK has suspended some arms sales to Israel, saying there is a “clear risk” the equipment could be used to commit serious violations of international law.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the UK would be suspending 30 out of 350 arms export licences to Israel.

The affected equipment includes parts for fighter jets, helicopters and drones.

An Israeli minister told the BBC that the decision sent the “wrong message” and was “disappointing”.

Mr Lammy said the UK continued to support Israel’s right to defend itself, and this did not amount to an arms embargo.
