The UK has issued more than 100 arms export licenses to Israel between October 7 and May 31, according to government figures.

Thirty-seven of the 108 licenses were described as military and 63 as non-military, but this might include telecommunications equipment for use by the Israel army. A further eight open licenses were granted, the Guardian reported. 

A total of 345 licenses to sell arms to Israel currently exist, including those issued before October 7. The figures were released by the business department in response to what it described as exceptional parliamentary interest.

The statistics show no arms export license application was rejected or revoked during the conflict, but Emily Apple, of the Campaign against Arms Trade, complained the figures did not reveal the value or the detailed category of the arms export licenses, only the number.
