UK firms sent Israel thousands of military items despite export ban, Pro-Palestinian groups claim
- A report released on May 7, 2025, disclosed that despite the UK government's suspension of certain arms export licenses in September 2024, British companies continued to send large quantities of military equipment to Israel.
- The UK government suspended 29 export licenses over risks of violations in Gaza but maintained about 200 other licenses covering non-lethal or re-export items.
- Since October 2024, at least 14 shipments including 8,630 munitions and 146 armored vehicle parts reached Israel, mainly by air to Ben Gurion airport and one by sea to Haifa.
- Foreign Secretary David Lammy acknowledged a "clear risk" that some exports could breach international humanitarian law, while critics call for greater transparency and investigation.
- The ongoing shipments suggest the UK’s arms supplies to Israel continue amid legal and ethical scrutiny, with the High Court reviewing the government’s export licensing decisions.
