Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 23 June 2025 to Question 58603 on Occupied Territories: Arms Trade, whether he has had discussions with his Israeli counterparts on (a) the use of military equipment supplied before the suspension of certain export licences and (b) that equipment supplied by remaining export licences must not be re-assigned to support military operations in (i) Gaza and (ii) the West Bank.

I regularly engage with my Israeli counterparts on a range of issues including the Israeli Defence Forces' (IDF) conduct in Gaza. We continue to urge that any Israeli actions must be in line with International Law. Subject to the specific measures taken to protect the global F-35 programme, we are clear there are no export licences currently being used by the IDF in military operations in Gaza or the West Bank.
