Sharjah24 - AFP: Britain said Monday it would suspend some arms exports to Israel, citing a "clear risk" that they could be used in a serious breach of international humanitarian law.
The announcement follows a review by the foreign ministry into the arms sales given concerns about Israel's conduct of its war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy told parliament that the UK would suspend 30 out of 350 arms exports licences to Israel.
He said the partial ban covered items "which could be used in the current conflict in Gaza", including fighter aircraft, helicopters and drones.
The ban does not include parts for the F-35 fighter jets, Lammy added.
