Government arms embargo on Israel faces legal challenge
Summary by DNyuz
Sir Keir Starmer is facing a legal challenge over the Government’s decision to impose an embargo on some arms exports to Israel. UK Lawyers for Israel has warned ministers it is ready to apply for a judicial review to quash the move, which it says was “made improperly”. It comes after David Lammy, the Foreign Secretary, announced to Parliament that he was suspending around 30 arms export licences for Israel.
