Arms Sales to Israel
voted on whether to suspend arms sales to Israel during the conflict in Gaza
What this is
Successive motions to suspend UK arms-export licences to Israel have been brought to the House since the Gaza conflict escalated. Government policy has been partial-suspension targeted at specific items rather than full suspension.
What changed as a result
Full-suspension motions have been defeated; the partial suspension (September 2024 30 licences) remains in force.
What to read for
MPs in constituencies with significant Muslim populations or defence-industry employment whose public statements diverge from their voting record on suspension motions.
