NATIONS complicit in supplying Israel with lethal F-35 fighter jets must end their legal gymnastics and suspend exports immediately, campaigners said today.
F-35s have played a key role in Israel’s genocide, including dropping three 2,000lb bombs in a so-called safe zone in Al-Mawasi, southern Gaza, last year.
Parts for the jet are made under a global supply programme led by the US and including Britain, Australia, Denmark, Canada and the Netherlands.
