Palestinian rights organisation Al-Haq has launched high court action over carve-out of F-35 fighter jet programme
  • UK government lawyers stated there is no evidence of genocide in Gaza or that the IDF specifically targets women and children, as they defended arms exports to Israel in a high court case.
  • The government seeks to uphold its arms sales, including F-35 components, citing international peace and security needs, while campaigners argue this violates domestic and international law obligations.
  • Al-Haq and other organizations assert severe humanitarian crises in Gaza, including mass displacement and significant civilian casualties, contesting the government’s position regarding compliance with humanitarian law.

    UK government lawyers stated there is no evidence of genocide in Gaza or that the IDF specifically targets women and children, as they defended arms exports to Israel in a high court case.

    So I’m guessing they don’t allow recorded statements, public record or video recordings as evidence then? Or is it just some closed session where a bunch of idiots suck eachother off to the sound of money counting machines?
