Judges rule against human rights groups claim that the UK is illegally arming Israel
LONDON — Human rights groups lost their legal challenge Monday to the British government's decision to supply Israel with parts for F-35 fighter jets and other military equipment. The Palestinian group Al-Haq and the U.K.-based Global Legal Action Network alleged that the government broke domestic and international law and was complicit in atrocities against Palestinians by allowing essential components for the warplanes to be supplied to Israel. The government last year suspended about 30 of 350 existing export licenses for equipment deemed to be for use in the conflict in Gaza because of a 'clear risk' the items could be used to violate international humanitarian law. Equipment included parts for helicopters and drones. But an exemption was made for some licenses related to components of F-35 fighter jets, which are indirectly supplied to Israel through the global spare parts supply chain and have been linked to bombing the Gaza Strip. While rights groups argued the U.K. shouldn't continue to export parts through what they call a 'deliberate loophole' given the government's own assessment of Israel's compliance with international humanitarian law, the government said the parts were distributed to a collaboration involving the U.S. and six other partners to produce the jets. Components manufactured in the U.K. are sent to assembly lines in the U.S., Italy and Japan that supply partners — including Israel — with jets and spare parts, the court said. Two High Court judges ruled that the issue was one of national security because the parts were considered vital to the defense collaboration and the U.K.'s security and international peace. They said it wasn't up to the courts to tell the government to withdraw from the group because of the possibility the parts would be supplied to Israel and used to violate international humanitarian law in Gaza. 'Under our constitution that acutely sensitive and political issue is a matter for the executive, which is democratically accountable to Parliament and ultimately to the electorate, not for the courts," Justices Stephen Males and Karen Steyn wrote in a 72-page judgment. Compared with major arms suppliers such as the U.S. and Germany, British firms sell a relatively small amount of weapons and components to Israel. The Campaign Against Arms Trade nonprofit group estimates that the U.K. supplies about 15% of the components in the F-35 stealth combat aircraft, including its laser targeting system.

Ceasefire Under Threat? Iran Doubts Israel's Commitment, Says 'Finger On The Trigger…' | DETAILS Iran's top military commander has warned that the Islamic Republic does not trust Israel to honor the current ceasefire, just six days after a brutal 12-day air war. In a call with Saudi Arabia's defense minister, Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi said Iran remains on alert and ready to respond with force if provoked. The conflict, which began with Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, killed top commanders and triggered a massive Iranian missile-and-drone retaliation that left dozens dead in Israel. Despite the truce, both sides are bracing for further escalation as distrust and regional tensions remain high.#IranChinaDeal #MiddleEastTensions #AirPowerShift #MilitaryStrategy #Geopolitics #DefenseNews #GlobalSecurity #J10C #ChengduJ10C #FighterJets #AirForceModernization #IranIsraelConflict #PersianGulfCrisis #IranAirForce #IDFStrikes 107.3K views | 4 hours ago

Israel interested in normalising ties with Syria and Lebanon, says foreign minister
Israel is interested in establishing formal diplomatic relations with long-standing adversaries Syria and Lebanon, but the status of the Golan Heights is non-negotiable, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said on Monday. Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar answers a journalist's question during a joint presser. Israeli leaders argue that with its rival Iran weakened by this month's 12-day war, other countries in the region have an opportunity to forge ties with Israel. The Middle East has been upended by nearly two years of war in Gaza, during which Israel also carried out airstrikes and ground operations in Lebanon targeting Iran-backed Hezbollah, and by the overthrow of former Syrian leader and Iran ally Bashar al-Assad. In 2020, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco became the first Arab states to establish ties with Israel since Jordan in 1994 and Egypt in 1979. The normalisation agreements with Israel were deeply unpopular in the Arab world. "We have an interest in adding countries such as Syria and Lebanon, our neighbours, to the circle of peace and normalisation, while safeguarding Israel's essential and security interests," Saar said at a press conference in Jerusalem. "The Golan will remain part of the State of Israel", he said. Israel annexed the Golan Heights in 1981 after capturing the territory from Syria during the 1967 Six-Day War. While most of the international community regards the Golan as occupied Syrian land, U.S. President Donald Trump recognised Israeli sovereignty over it during his first term in office. Following Assad's ousting, Israeli forces moved further into Syrian territory. Palestinian statehood demand A senior Syrian official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Syria would never give up the Golan Heights, describing it as an integral part of Syrian territory. The official also said that normalisation efforts with Israel must be part of the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative, and not carried out through a separate track. A spokesperson for Syria's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. The 2002 initiative proposed Arab normalisation with Israel in exchange for its withdrawal from occupied territories including the Golan Heights, the West Bank, and Gaza. It also called for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem, which Israel also captured in 1967, as its capital. Throughout the war in Gaza, regional power Saudi Arabia has repeatedly said that establishing ties with Israel was conditional on the creation of an independent Palestinian state. Israel's Saar said it was "not constructive" for other states to condition normalisation on Palestinian statehood. "Our view is that a Palestinian state will threaten the security of the State of Israel", he said. In May, Reuters reported that Israel and Syria's new Islamist rulers had established direct contact and held face-to-face meetings aimed at de-escalating tensions and preventing renewed conflict along their shared border. The same month, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the U.S. would lift sanctions on Syria and met Syria's new president, urging him to normalize ties with Israel.
