No evidence has been seen that a genocide is occurring in Gaza or that women and children were targeted by the IDF, UK government lawyers have claimed, as a high court case opened into the handling of arms exports controls to Israel.
They also suggested there was no obligation placed on the UK to make other states comply with international humanitarian law but only to ensure that no breach occured within its jurisdiction.
The government is seeking to defend itself in a judicial review brought over allegations that it acted unlawfully in continuing to sell F-35 parts and components to a global pool, even though some of those components might be used by Israel in Gaza in a way that the government regards as a breach of international law.
Much of the case will turn on the extent to which international law places obligations in domestic law.

Yup Israel has always had a free pass cause they’re basically the only ally of west in broken and dangerous middle east.
Thats why Saudi Arabia is so fascinating - if they drag middle east out of swamp of incompetence they could make Israel redundant and take away its free pass.
Is that supposed to be some kind of joke?
Saudi Arabia is the MOST incompetent of the whole bunch!
It just doesn’t matter because they literally have more money than God.
They’re so ultra-inbred incompetent that they literally founded, funded and armed a terrorist group that made their first and foremost goal the fall of Saudi Arabia under an Islamic caliphate.
They learned to stay out of wars decades ago, because they’re too mentally damaged to fight them.
I mean, until they tried to genocide Yemen, and of course got their asses handed to them by unarmed goat-herders who are still infinitely less trash.
You seem wildly confused what competence we’re talking about here. Saudi Arabia by far is the most competent Middle East country when it comes to building relationships with the west, no?
First of all no, that’d be the UAE, but more importantly you don’t need competence to build relationships with the West; you need to be a fucking sellout. Which most of the region is, but still, it’s not a matter of competence.
Yes geopolitics is about selling out to the evil capitalism scary spooky west! Don’t trip over your tank tracks.
When that geopolitics comes at the cost of ignoring an ongoing genocide on your doorstep (and a litany of other, less flashy manifestations of Western tyranny), yes that’s true.
No.

I fucking wonder who made it so “broken and dangerous”. That aside the Middle East being “broken and dangerous” is a relatively recent phenomenon; the Israeli-Western relationship came to be because the Arab world mostly fell on the side of the USSR during the cold war.
Ah yes it’s the west that did it! Not the oppressive local religion and failed culture, not that at all! /s
The perpetual victims while also being the greatest and god chosen too.
Yes, exactly, good thing you’re aware of that. It was the West, specifically America but also some Brits and Poles, blowing up Iraq that set this whole mess in action.
Sure it’s everyone’s fault but the guys who are beheading children lmao
Who is that again?

Reading comprehension and mental healthcare of a true American lmao
Take care
You have very bad reading comprehension. The person you are quoting never praised Saudi Arabia and never said they were the saviors of anything.
