UK Considers Suspending Arms Exports to Israel
News summary

The United Nations' human rights experts have urged Israel to comply with the International Court of Justice's ruling that its military occupation of Palestinian territories is unlawful and must end, reinforcing international norms against annexation and apartheid. Meanwhile, the newly elected Labour government in the UK is considering suspending arms exports to Israel, driven by concerns over potential war crimes in Gaza and the ICJ's recent ruling. British Foreign Secretary David Lammy has initiated a review of the legal implications of arms sales to Israel, with a decision expected within weeks. This move aligns with Labour’s previous stance on arms sales and comes amid ongoing discussions between Downing Street and Jerusalem. The UK aims to suspend export licenses for specific weapons systems linked to suspected war crimes, reflecting a cautious approach to ensure accountability and transparency.
