It has been reported that the Israeli government expects the UK's recently elected Labour Party government to end arms sales to Israel and is concerned that other countries may follow suit.
According to a report by the Yediot Ahranot newspaper, the new government in the UK, led by Keir Starmer, is preparing to halt arms sales to Israel.
The Israeli government assesses that the UK will cancel its defense export licenses to Tel Aviv in the coming days. It was stated that the Tel Aviv administration is concerned that other countries in the region might take similar steps.
The new government in the UK, led by Keir Starmer, withdrew the previous government's objection to the International Criminal Court's (ICC) request for an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a few days ago.
The government also announced that it would resume financial support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), which had been suspended in January.
