Britain suspends over 80 arms export licenses to Israel
The British government announced the tightening of its restrictions on arms exports to Israel, freezing more than 80 licenses for the export of military equipment that could be used in military operations in the Gaza Strip. These measures are part of a "dual-lock mechanism" to ensure that the equipment is not used in a manner inconsistent with standards, with a personal review by the UK Middle East Minister, Stephen Doughty. The frozen licenses have increased significantly compared to when the procedures began in September 2024, with around 50 new licenses added amid criticism within the government and from politicians regarding Israel's policies in Gaza and the West Bank. The policy exempts Britain from halting the export of F-35 aircraft parts for security reasons, with assurances emphasizing the importance of these exports for European security.
