A growing number of British MPs, peers, NGOs, and members of the public are demanding that 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 comes one year after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a landmark advisory opinion condemning Israel's occupation, with critics accusing the UK of ignoring its international legal obligations. Despite some suspended arms licenses, the UK continues to export military components, notably for F-35 fighter jets, sparking widespread protests and calls for greater transparency. Polls show a majority of the British public now oppose supplying arms to Israel, and humanitarian organizations are urging immediate action to end UK complicity.
The government faces increasing scrutiny over its policies, with many demanding a clear and decisive response to the ICJ ruling.
