David Lammy suspends arms exports to Israel, raising UK military concerns

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy has suspended 30 arms export licenses to Israel, a move that has drawn criticism from both advocates for a total ban and the Israeli government. While UK military exports to Israel represent less than 1% of Israel's arms imports, Israel is a key supplier of military technology to the UK, including drones and anti-tank missiles, raising concerns about potential impacts on UK military readiness.
