The British government announced the suspension of 30 arms export licences to Israel, indicating these exports could facilitate violations of international humanitarian law.
While the suspension was viewed positively, it does not fulfill the UK’s obligations under international law amid NATO members overriding it for alliance commitments.
All states have a duty to impose a full arms embargo on Israel, as asserted by the International Court of Justice regarding Israel’s actions in Gaza.
The UK's legal rationale for continuing arms sales may lack grounding in international law, as Israel's actions in occupied territories do not constitute lawful self-defense.
