A growing number of British MPs, peers, and civil society organizations are demanding the UK government impose a full arms embargo and sanctions on Israel due to its actions in Gaza and continued occupation of Palestinian territories.
This follows the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) advisory opinion declaring Israel's occupation illegal, which many say the UK has failed to adequately address. Public opinion in the UK is shifting, with polls showing a majority now oppose supplying arms or components, such as those for F-35 fighter jets, to Israel. Humanitarian groups and protestors have intensified calls for the UK to end what they describe as complicity in alleged war crimes and to uphold international law.
Despite government statements condemning Israeli actions, critics argue that current measures are insufficient and demand immediate, concrete action.
