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, citing concerns over the use of British-made weapons in the Gaza conflict.
Public opinion has shifted, with polls showing a majority of Britons opposing the export of F-35 fighter jet components and other arms to Israel. Calls for action have intensified following the UK's perceived inaction after the International Court of Justice's ruling on Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. Despite government statements condemning Israeli actions, critics argue that continued arms sales make the UK complicit in alleged violations of international law.
Humanitarian groups and protestors have also joined the call, urging immediate suspension of all arms exports to Israel.
