Headline: UK Government Faces High Court Challenge To Arms Sales To Israel

Caption:

A protestor dressed as Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer holds a placard outside Foreign Office reading ''more that 52.000 people killed,'' referring to the number of people killed in Gaza since the start of Israel offensive, and posing in front of a 16-foot replica of a MK-84 2,000-pound bomb labelled with the word ''Complicit.'' The British government is set to appear, on May 13, 2025 at the High Court to defend its licensing of ongoing arms exports to Israel. Rights groups and NGOs accuses the UK government of breaching international law by sending fighter jet parts to Israel. Supported by Amnesty, Human Rights Watch, Oxfam and others, the Palestinian rights association Al-Haq takes the British government to London's High Court hoping to stop its export of UK-made components for Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jets.
