Britain Tightens Arms Restrictions On Israel

Britain Tightens Arms Restrictions On Israel:

Britain has suspended or refused more than 80 export licences for items that could be used by the IDF in Gaza, nearly three times the number restricted when the measures began in September 2024.

Middle East Minister Stephen Doughty said the measures announced on September 8, when Labour imposed sanctions targeting Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria had tightened the arms restrictions further.

"We have suspended or refused over 80 licences now. The new decisions that we took on September 8 mean there's effectively now a double lock on arms exports."

Doughty said that Britain "could be doing more" to restrict exports to Israel.
