UK Suspends Partial Arms Exports to Israel Amid Controversy

The British government halts 30 out of 350 arms export licenses, citing humanitarian law concerns, but faces criticism for not going far enough.

• Foreign Secretary David Lammy announced the suspension of specific arms exports to Israel, including components for aircraft and drones.
• The decision comes after reports of Israeli actions in Gaza, which have drawn international condemnation.
• Critics argue the suspension is insufficient as it exempts key components for F-35 fighter jets, heavily used in Gaza.
• Reactions are mixed, with Israel expressing disappointment and rights groups calling for a complete halt to arms exports.
• The move has ignited debate over the UK’s foreign policy and its balance between diplomatic relations and ethical responsibilities.
