The perspective of liberal says:
- The UK has suspended 30 arms export licences to Israel due to a 'clear risk' of violating humanitarian law.
- The suspension covers components for military aircraft, including fighter aircraft, helicopters, and drones.
- Senior legal adviser Richard Hermer intervened in the decision, demanding clarity on which weapons could violate international humanitarian law.
- The delay in the decision was caused by the struggle to differentiate between offensive and defensive weapons.
- The UK government has paused issuing new licenses for weapons sales to Israel pending the review's completion.
- Some government officials have expressed upset over the delay, while human rights lawyers have accused the government of acting irrationally by not banning arms sales.
