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.
