HM Government publishes data on export licensing decisions on a quarterly basis in the Official Statistics, including data on outcome, end user destination, overall value, type (e.g. military, other) and a summary of the items covered by these licences. This data is available at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/strategic-export-controls-licensing-data
Information about licences to Israel from 12th February 2024 has not yet been published as official statistics. Information regarding export licence decisions made between 1 January 2024 – 31 March 2024 will be published later this year.
In the event a decision was taken to amend, suspend or revoke any licences, we would contact the affected exporters directly and, where relevant, issue a Notice to Exporters which would be published on GOV.UK.
