UK considers restricting arms exports to Israel, faces legal challenges over F-35 parts.

UK officials explored stopping UK-made components from reaching Israel, fearing they could be used in Gaza conflicts, but faced obstacles. The UK suspended 30 arms export licenses to Israel but continued exporting F-35 parts. NGOs are legally challenging this decision, arguing it breaches human rights and international law. The government defends the export, citing NATO defense needs, and the case is pending before the High Court.
