 UK Suspends Some Arms Sales to Israel, Drawing Criticism from Netanyahu


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned the UK government's decision to suspend 30 out of 350 arms export licenses to Israel, labeling it "shameful." In a statement on social media, Netanyahu criticized the UK for not standing with Israel, a fellow democracy, during its fight against what he termed "barbarism." He argued that this "misguided decision" would only serve to embolden Hamas amid ongoing tensions in the region. The suspension was announced by UK Defence Secretary John Healey, who emphasized that the UK remains a "staunch ally" of Israel.


Healey explained that the suspended licenses pertain to equipment that could be used for offensive purposes in Gaza, while the majority of arms exported to Israel are either unrelated to the conflict or intended for defensive use. The timing of the announcement has drawn criticism, particularly as it coincided with the funerals of six hostages killed by Hamas last week. Healey acknowledged the emotional weight of the situation but maintained that the decision was driven by legal obligations and the necessity to report to Parliament.


Human rights organizations, including Amnesty International UK, have also weighed in, describing the measures as "too limited" and accusing the government of engaging in "gesture politics." Amnesty's chief executive, Sacha Deshmukh, noted that the restrictions are riddled with loopholes, calling for a more comprehensive approach to arms exports. While the UK's arms sales to Israel are relatively minor, contributing just 1% of the country's defense imports, the controversy underscores the complexities of international arms trade and the ongoing challenges in the Israel-Palestine conflict.
