U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government announced it is suspending exports of specific weapons to Israel due to the risk of violations of international humanitarian law.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy emphasized this decision affects about 30 of 350 existing export licenses, including those for military aircraft and drone components.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant expressed disappointment with the U.K. sanctions, calling the relationship strained as pressure mounts on allies regarding the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
The U.K. arms exports to Israel, valued at 42 million pounds, are significantly less than those from major suppliers like the U.S. or Germany.
