Case against Israel arms exports could be most important challenge in ‘generations’
Palestinians mourn nine people killed in an Israeli strike in Bureij refugee camp, Gaza Strip, November 15, 2024

A COURT case against the British government over arms exports to Israel could be the most important challenge to the legal system in “generations,” arms expert Andrew Feinstein has said.

The case, brought by the Global Legal Action Network and the human rights group Al-Haq, will be heard in the High Court on Monday.

It calls on the government to suspend all arms exports, citing a clear risk that these could be used by Israel to violate international law.
