Britain is allowing parts for F-35 fighter jets to be exported to Israel despite accepting they could be used in breach of international humanitarian law in Gaza, lawyers for a Palestinian rights group have told a London court, according to . The case comes after Britain in Sept suspended 30 of 350 arms export licences, though it exempted the indirect export of F-35 parts, citing the impact on the global F-35 programme. West Bank-based Al-Haq argues that decision was unlawful as there is a clear risk F-35s could be used in breach of international humanitarian law. British government lawyer James Eadie said that Britain had nonetheless decided that F-35 components should still be exported, quoting from advice to defence minister John Healey that suspending F-35 parts “would have a profound impact on international peace and security”.
