Last week, FactCheck revealed that Israel imported over £400,000 worth of arms from UK companies in June 2025 – the highest monthly amount since these records began in January 2022.

The exact nature of the items wasn’t specified in the data, but they were listed under a category that includes bombs, grenades, torpedoes, missiles, and ammunition.

And we can now exclusively reveal that September was the second highest value month on record, with over £310,000 worth of UK munitions under this same category arriving in Israel.

Israel dismissed the Commission’s report as “distorted and false” and said the expert panel were acting as “Hamas proxies”.

The UK government told us it does not “export bombs or ammunition for IDF use in military operations in Gaza or the West Bank”.

    Aaand this is why UK has been so adamant to quell protests against Israel’s genocidal actions: money

    Enjoy the MMOG of capitalism, where only a few griefers using exploits get to win.

      While it’s definitely not helping, the volume of money moving around (less than four million pounds year) is too small to be the only factor at play. (Neo)colonial ambitions, deference to daddy USA and plain inertia probably have at least as much to do with it.
