Arms Trade: Israel

Question for Department for Business and Trade

To ask His Majesty's Government what is their assessment of the current value of licensed UK arms exports to Israel, both direct and via third party states, and including through open licences.

The maximum value of UK SIELs (Standard Individual Export Licences) issued for direct export to Israel was £24.9 million in 2023.

The maximum value of UK SIELs where Israel was listed as an ultimate end-user, alongside multiple other destinations was £134.9 million in 2023. It is not possible to ascertain what proportion of that amount is attributable to Israel alone.

We do not hold data on value of any other licence type, including open licences. Data on the value of SIELs to Israel in 2024 has not yet been published.
