Israelis and Palestinian citizens of Israel protest Israel's military operations in the Gaza Strip, in Umm al-Fahm, Israel, November 15, 2024

THE government has been given until Friday to respond to the latest High Court escalation over its supply of weapons to suspected war criminals.

The organisations first launched legal action over the licences last December.
