Rights groups raise concerns that British weapons could be used in Gaza

Two rights groups have criticised the UK’s weapons exports to Israel, and have vowed to continue pursuing legal action to end the arms exports to Israel.

Global Legal Action Network and Al-Haq issued a statement on X on Tuesday, saying that the UK government has accepted Israel’s response to accusations over restricting food, water, and medical supplies to Palestinians in Gaza, violating international laws. 

“We maintain that there is a clear risk British weapons might be involved in the atrocities against civilians in Gaza and continue our High Court challenge to end UK arms exports to Israel now in compliance with UK rules and international law,” the group said.
