Responding to Britain's decision today (Monday) to suspend arms licenses to Israel related to fighter aircraft and drones, Foreign Minister Katz said that this was a "step that sends a very problematic message to the Hamas terrorist organization and its backers in Iran."
In a dramatic announcement today, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said that the United Kingdom was suspending 30 out of 350 arms licenses to Israel for fear of "serious" violations of international law, according to the Financial Times.
The suspended licenses include components for fighter aircraft and drone equipment, as well as equipment for ground targeting.
