Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of Israel’s compliance with arms licence criteria.

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

We continue 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, including where there is a clear risk that the items might be used to commit or facilitate a serious violation of International Humanitarian Law which governs armed conflict, then we are able to revoke, suspend or amend these licences.
