Summary
Britain has imposed a partial arms embargo on Israel over the Gaza war, refusing to supply replacement parts for navy gunships used in the offensive.The move came after the British government reviewed all 182 licences for arms exports to Israel and ultimately decided to cancel five, which cover spare parts for Saar 4.5 missile boats.By participating in the Gaza war, the boats violated the security agreements between Britain and Israel, which specify what uses may be made of British equipment, sources reported to have said.
