Britain suspends over 80 Israel export licenses
The main news story discusses the UK's measures regarding arms exports to Israel. The British government announced that it has suspended or rejected more than 80 export licenses for materials that could be used by the Israeli military, as a step to restrict arms exports that might contribute to violations of international humanitarian law in the Gaza Strip. This included suspending about 30 licenses and halting new applications, with each license being assessed based on its potential use in human rights violations. Additionally, certain components of the F-35 fighter jet program were exempted from some restrictions for security reasons. These measures come amid ongoing escalation in Palestinian territories and Britain's reaffirmation of the need to adhere to legal and humanitarian principles in arms exports.
