Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the UK's decision to suspend 30 of 350 arms export licenses to Israel as "shameful." The suspension follows concerns that British equipment could be used in violations of international humanitarian law. The move came a day after Israeli forces recovered six hostages' bodies from Gaza. Netanyahu criticized the UK for not standing with Israel, accusing the decision of emboldening Hamas. Despite the suspension, British Foreign Minister David Lammy emphasized that it would not impact Israel's security and affirmed continued support for its right to self-defense.
