SpaceWar.com reports: “Britain on Monday announced it was suspending the export of some military equipment to Israel as London increases its public criticism of an ally and its methods of war that have killed tens of thousands of Palestinians.

Israel has been fighting Hamas in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza since the Iran proxy militia launched a brutal and deadly attack on the Middle Eastern country Oct. 7 that killed 1,200 Israelis and saw another 251 kidnapped.

But Israel’s methods of war have attracted increasing criticism, including from allies, such as the United States, as the death toll has continuously climbed and humanitarian aid has constantly fallen short of what is required. Much of Gaza has also been razed.

Britain on Monday announced it was suspending, with immediate effect, some 30 of roughly 350 licenses for the export of military goods to Israel following an assessment the government of Prime Minister Keir Starmer showed that there is ‘clear risk’ that Israel could use them in violation of international law.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy said in a statement that it was with ‘regret’ that he had to inform Britain’s Parliament of the suspension while stating that London continues to support ‘Israel’s right to self-defense.’

Items affected include military aircraft, helicopter and drone components as well as items for ground targeting…”
