A good summary of Australia's supplying Israel with arms components. The final sentence or two make the point. Legal, versus what is morally correct. Perhaps @australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social and @senatorwong.bsky.social need to review their morality. #auspol #gaza #armsexports
3/12 Currently, UK ministers claim it's "not for the UK government to determine if a genocide is occurring" but a matter for international courts. Yet recent arms export licensing cases reveal ministers receive private legal advice on whether genocides are happening.

4/7 But Jones argues these measures are "tokenistic nonsense" especially as Britain was recently in court defending its continued export of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel, despite arrest warrants issued by the ICC against Israeli leadership.

2/11 The four-day hearing will test whether ministers broke the law by continuing to supply components for F-35 jets potentially used by Israel against Palestinians in Gaza, despite the UK's own arms export control laws prohibiting such exports.

Important reflection from @prif.org: As #rearmament plans take shape in Germany & across Europe, #ArmsExports & diverging threat perceptions raise key policy questions that merit deeper debate.
