BRITAIN has reportedly suspended the processing of arms export licences for sales to Israel.

Exporters for arms sales licences are said to be receiving messages from the Department for Business and Trade, saying their applications are suspended pending a review.

No fixed date has been set for the completion of the review, which follows allegations that weapons sales to Israel risk breaches of humanitarian law in the ongoing Gaza massacre.
