WE'RE KEEPING UP THE LEGAL PRESSURE ON THE UK GOVERNMENT to stop arms exports

Our emergency court action, as part of our case with Al-Haq against the government, to end arms exports to Israel lead to the announcement that the government has suspended weapons for use in Gaza and the West Bank, but excluded F-35 parts for the global programme, allowing components to reach Israel indirectly. This must stop.
