UK suspends some arm sales to Israel, citing humanitarian ‘risk’
The U.K. government is suspending exports of some weapons to Israel, citing risks they could break international law, aimed at increasing pressure for an end to the Gaza conflict.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy stated there is a “clear risk” that certain items could facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian law.
This decision affects about 30 of 350 export licenses related to military equipment being used in the Gaza conflict.
