Government in court over continued arms exports to Israel
Palestinians inspect the damage at a UN school used as a shelter by displaced people that Israel bombed, killing more than 15 people, in Jabaliya, northern Gaza Strip, on May 12, 2025
THE British government will return to court tomorrow to defend its continued sale of arms to Israel.
Palestinian rights group Al-Haq and the British-based Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) have brought the case to the High Court, challenging the government’s decision to continue supplying essential parts for lethal F-35 fighter jets.
Last September, the government had announced it would suspend 30 out of 350 arms exports.
