LONDON (AP) 鈥� The British government says it is suspending exports of some weapons to Israel because there is a risk they could be used to break international law.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy said Monday there is a 鈥渃lear risk鈥� some items could be used to 鈥渃ommit or facilitate a serious violation of international humanitarian law.鈥�
He told lawmakers the decision related to about 30 of 350 export licenses to Israel, and was not an arms embargo.
Britain is among a number of Israel鈥檚 longstanding allies whose governments are under growing pressure to halt weapons exports because of the toll of the 11-month-old war in Gaza.
