UK govt announces partial suspension of arms exports to Israel

 LONDON, Sept 2, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Britain on Monday said it would suspend 30 out of 350 arms exports licences to Israel, citing a "clear risk" they could be used in a serious breach of international humanitarian law.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy told parliament the partial ban covered items "which could be used in the current conflict in Gaza" against Hamas but did not include parts for the F-35 fighter jets.
