The Supreme Court in Britain rejects a lawsuit to stop arms exports to Israel. British strategic licensing standards stipulate that weapons may not be exported if there is a clear risk that they could be used in violations of international humanitarian law.
The lawsuit, which was rejected by the Supreme Court, stated that London had been granted permission in the past few years to sell British weapons to Israel, including components for aircraft, ships, and military radars. The lawyers who filed the lawsuit announced yesterday that the court had rejected it, and confirmed that they would appeal the decision.
