We ask you to: •Immediately suspend all arms licences and exports to Israel. •Do everything in your power to seek an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Just 30 out of around 350 licenses to Israel have been suspended. We do not believe this is enough.

The UK's licensing criteria for arms exports set out that the Government must not issue arms export licenses if there is a clear risk that the items might be used to facilitate serious violations of International Humanitarian Law. The ICJ found that Palestinians in Gaza have plausible rights under the Genocide convention. We believe that until it stops all licenses for arms exports to Israel, the UK is complicit in arming Israel and many regard Israel to be committing war crimes.

Government response

The UK’s priorities are an immediate Gaza ceasefire, hostages out, aid at scale, and a long-term political solution. As announced, we’ve stopped relevant exports for military use in Gaza.
