UK sent Israel thousands of military items despite export ban, study finds
- A study reveals that UK firms exported thousands of military items to Israel, including munitions, despite a suspension of key arms export licences in September.
- Concerns have been raised over potential breaches regarding F-35 component sales to Israel, with calls for a full investigation into whether the government misled Parliament about the nature of arms supplied.
- The report indicates a significant volume of military shipments from the UK to Israel has continued since the ban, contradicting assurances that remaining export licences only covered non-offensive items.
