The Minister's response is not included in the provided transcript. The Government have suspended arms licences for items that could be used in military operations in Gaza, including F-16 fighter aircraft components, targeting systems, and parts for unmanned aerial vehicles. Licences are granted based on compliance with international humanitarian law; however, it is not possible to suspend licensing of F-35 components specifically for Israel without ceasing supply to the entire global F-35 programme. The Government support the programme due to its importance for NATO allies' security. We continue to provide military grade body armour used by NGOs and journalists. The UK makes about 15% of the components for the F-35, but suspending supply would undermine European and global security. The Minister emphasises that UK is not selling parts directly to Israel for F-35 use. In December we laid in the Library of the House an exceptional release of export licensing data focused specifically on Israel. Remaining licences relate to non-military items, military items for civilian use, or items not for use in military operations in Gaza. Of the 352 licences extant for Israel, as of 6 December, 191 were non-military and included commercial aircraft components, equipment for private manufacturing firms, and parts for submersible vessels for scientific research. There are 161 licences relating to military equipment, but less than half relate to the Government of Israel or the IDF; most related either to UK components for re-export or military-grade items for civilians such as body armour for journalists and NGOs. The UK is not allowing the direct export of arms for use in Israel’s military operations in Gaza. Exports of F-35 components directly to Israel are therefore suspended unless they are for re-export. Since September, we have refused all licence applications for military goods that might be used by Israel in the current conflict. More applications were refused in 2024 than in the preceding four years combined.
