All applications for export licences are assessed on a case-by-case basis against the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria.

The Government continues to monitor closely the situation in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank, and if extant licences are found to be no longer consistent with the Criteria, those licences will be revoked.
