The British government is set to defend its arms export approvals to Israel in high court, despite clear evidence of human rights violations against Palestinians in Gaza, including starvation and loss of life amid ongoing conflict. With a blockade causing widespread humanitarian distress, and the UK admitting that arms have been misused, critics argue that this continued support contravenes international law, particularly given the documented atrocities and systematic violations perpetrated by Israel. There are concerns that loopholes in arms licensing allow for continued complicity in violence.
