A coalition of civil society organizations has urged the UK government to suspend all arms exports to Israel, responding to Business Secretary Peter Kyle’s hints at unblocking arms sales. The groups criticized the government’s previous suspension of just 30 out of 350 licenses, arguing it reflects a disregard for international humanitarian law amid ongoing violence against Palestinians. They assert that Israel’s actions demonstrate a total disregard for peace and call for a halt to arms sales and the existing free trade agreement. The situation remains dire, with significant casualties reported since the October 2023 ceasefire.
