The UK government has suspended 30 out of 350 arms export licenses to Israel due to concerns that some weapons could be used in violations of international humanitarian law during the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Foreign Secretary David Lammy stated that the decision does not imply guilt on Israel's part nor is it an arms embargo, but reflects deep concerns over civilian casualties and destruction of infrastructure. Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have condemned the move as shameful and misguided, asserting that it will not deter Israel's resolve to defeat Hamas. Critics of the UK's decision warn it may have unforeseen consequences, potentially jeopardizing British security interests and complicating US arms supplies to Israel. The suspension specifically targets military equipment such as drone and helicopter parts but does not include F-35 fighter jet components. The situation highlights the complex political dynamics at play amid the ongoing conflict.
