UK approval of arms exports to Israel plunged at start of Gaza war

Britain’s approval of arms export licences to Israel dropped by more than 95 percent following Israel's war on Gaza.

The figures, which have not previously been reported, are based on information provided by government officials to Reuters new agency and data from the Department for Business and Trade’s Export Control Joint Unit.

The United States and Germany increased arms sales to Israel after the start of the war with Hamas.
