🚨 BREAKING: The UK gov has been forced to review its decision to export F-35 warplane components after admitting in court that Israel is “not committed to complying” with international law. Here’s what’s happening and why it matters: 👇 glanlaw.org/single-post/uk… 1/ On November 25th, @GLAN_LAW & @alhaq_org sent a legal letter to the UK gov, demanding they halt all arms exports to Israel. This included the F-35 warplane program, which was exempted from an earlier suspension of arms export licences. theguardian.com/world/2024/nov…

Yesterday in the High Court, the UK's complicity in atrocity crimes in Gaza was exposed. The key points:

1/ In response to questioning, the government was forced to admit that “Israel is not committed to complying with international humanitarian law” by its own assessment 2/ The government waited 5 weeks to act on the assessment (made 24 July 2024) that UK weaponry were, at risk of being used in serious violations of internationa humanitarian law and that arms exports should be suspended.

Today in court we applied for more info on UK exempting F35 jet components from ban on exports to Israel. If reasoning is deficient we will apply for full suspension. Press statement:

Compelling evidence has emerged about the use of this jet in Gaza ...glanlaw.org/single-post/ch… Israel has used F-35s to drop 2000lb bombs on densely populated areas. Two days ago @DanWatchDK linked F35s to Israel’s 13 July attack on an Israeli-designated ‘safe zone’ in southern Gaza, killing 90 people & injuring at least 300. information.dk/indland/2024/0…
