    The suspensions represent one-tenth of the 350 extant licenses

    It’s all just show.

    Ministers were eager to emphasise that the suspension did not represent a step away from the UK’s commitment to Israel’s security

    “Israel’s security” has nothing to do with bombing people in tents.

    Lammy, aware of the sensitivity of the issue in Israel and the US, stressed his decision was taken more in sorrow than anger, adding the conclusion did not amount to a full arms embargo, and did not even go as far as the suspension of licences made by Margaret Thatcher in 1982.
