Despite High Court decision, UK is complicit in Israel's killing of Palestinian children

30th June 2025

In response to the High Court ruling that the UK’s sale of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel is lawful, Kathleen Spencer Chapman, Director of Influencing & External Affairs at Plan International UK said:

“British manufactured parts continue to play an integral role in Israel’s attacks against Gaza’s hospitals and refugee camps in the most flagrant violations of International Humanitarian Law. Despite the High Court’s ruling, the UK Government's complicity in Israel’s war crimes and killing of Palestinian civilians including children is shamefully clear.

“We know from working with local partners that the situation for children in Gaza is now at its most desperate: they are starving, sick and utterly traumatised, enduring horrors beyond all comprehension. 

“The UK Government must immediately stop selling fighter jet parts to Israel and hold the Government of Israel accountable for its blatant disregard of International Humanitarian Law. Israel’s illegal and lethal blockade of humanitarian aid must also be lifted without delay, before thousands more starve to death. 

“No child should ever have to live through such tragedy.”
