UK High Court to Hear Case on Arms Sales to Israel in October

The legal challenge, led by Palestinian NGO Al-Haq, contests the legality of British weapon exports amid allegations of international law violations in Gaza.

• A High Court judge has scheduled a hearing for October to review the British government's role in arms exports to Israel.
• Al-Haq, supported by international lawyers and judges, argues that the continued export of arms could violate international humanitarian law.
• The UK government defends its licensing process as thorough, despite criticism of potential complicity in international law breaches.
• Recent events, including an Israeli airstrike killing British aid workers, have intensified scrutiny and legal challenges against UK arms sales.
• The case was initially dismissed in February but was reinstated for a judicial review following persistent legal efforts by human rights groups.
