A growing number of British MPs, peers, NGOs, and the public are demanding that the UK government impose a full arms embargo and sanctions on Israel in response to its actions in Gaza and the ongoing occupation of Palestinian territories.
This follows the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) advisory opinion declaring Israel's occupation illegal, which the UK government has yet to formally address. Polls show that a majority of the UK public opposes supplying arms or components, such as those for F-35 fighter jets, to Israel. Despite government statements condemning Israeli actions, critics argue that current measures are insufficient and call for greater transparency and adherence to international law.
Protests and calls from humanitarian organizations further highlight widespread concern over UK complicity in the conflict.
