The British Foreign Minister, David Lammy, announced on Monday that the UK would temporarily halt certain arms export licenses to Israel due to concerns about potential misuse and violation of international law.

Approximately 30 out of 350 U.K. licenses to export arms to Israel will be suspended, as stated by Lammy.

Lammy clarified to lawmakers in the House of Commons that this is not a complete prohibition and not a restriction on weapons.

Lammy stated that a review revealed a "clear risk" that certain export licenses could be used to perpetrate or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian law.
