The UK government faces accusations of dishonesty regarding arms exports to Israel following an investigation revealing thousands of military items were sent despite a ban. The analysis, conducted by several organizations and reported in the Guardian, contradicts claims by Foreign Secretary David Lammy about the defensive nature of these exports. Despite a suspension of 29 licences in September 2024, over 200 remain, including those for the F-35 programme, raising concerns over compliance with international humanitarian law and prompting calls for greater transparency and a complete halt to military exports to Israel.
