Motion text

That this House calls on the Government to immediately suspend all arms exports to Israel in line with majority public opinion and urgently provide full transparency over Britain’s military relationship with Israel considering new evidence of significantly increased military shipments during the war on Gaza; notes a new report evidencing Britain has exported over 8,600 munitions, 116 goods in the category of tanks, armoured vehicles and parts thereof and continued direct shipments of F-35 parts after UK’s suspension of licenses in September 2024; further notes this evidence contradicts ministerial claims to have banned arms sales that could be used in Gaza, including direct supply of F-35 parts to Israel; highlights F-35 jets have been used in attacks described by the UN as indiscriminate and disproportionate; recalls the Government itself warned of a clear risk of supply of F-35 parts enabling violations of international law; notes the Government's own figures showing Britain approved single issue licenses for £127.6 million worth of military equipment to Israel between October and December 2024, totalling more than 2020 to 2023 combined; further highlights the Foreign Secretary’s new absolute commitment to take further action if needed; urges that such action is urgently needed and must include suspension of all arms exports; and further urges the Government publish export data of all military goods since October 2023, including senders, consignees, shippers, product descriptions, ports of origin and end-users, and to clarify how it determines and enforces where these goods are used and which uses it considers acceptable.
