"Britain Halts 5 Arms Exports to Israel over Gaza Attack

The British government has suspended five arms export licenses to Israel following a review of how the Israeli military used British-supplied equipment during its three-week assault on the Gaza Strip. The licenses were revoked under British rules banning arms exports that could be used for external aggression or internal repression. The licenses reportedly involve shipments to the Israeli navy, which has killed Palestinian civilians in attacks off Gazas shores. In a letter to the Israeli government, the British embassy stressed it is not imposing an arms embargo on Israel and that the license suspensions resulted greatly from pressure by lawmakers and human rights groups. Another 177 British arms-export licenses remain in place. The suspensions mark the first by a foreign government against Israel over the Gaza attack. The Bush administration provided the decisive weaponry for the assault on Gaza, and the Obama administration has refused to take any punitive action."
