The United Kingdom has suspended some arms exports to Israel, citing a risk that they might be used to commit serious violations of international humanitarian law. On Monday, Foreign Secretary David Lammy told Parliament the partial arms ban would not cut off the flow of most weapons from the U.K. to Israel, including parts for F-35 fighter jets.

David Lammy: “This is not an arms embargo. It targets around 30, approximately of 350 licenses to Israel in total, for items which could be used in the current conflict in Gaza. The rest will continue.”

In a statement, the British group Global Justice Now said, “Under huge pressure the government is waking up to the fact that it must stop arming Israel. But this is a half-baked ban which risks maintaining UK complicity in war crimes. You wouldn’t deal with a dangerous arsonist by halving their petrol supply.”
