The value of UK arms imported by Israel has reached a record high value in 2025, FactCheck can exclusively reveal.
Our analysis of Israel Tax Authority customs data finds that Israel imported nearly £1 million worth of UK munitions in the first nine months of the year.
That’s more than double the amount received in any of the previous three years.
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.

Campaigners condemned government’s plan to give police new powers to crack down on protests
CAMPAIGNERS have condemned the government’s mounting authoritarianism after it was announced yesterday that police will be granted new powers to crack down on protests.
The measures follow a mass demonstration in support of proscribed campaign group Palestine Action in which nearly 500 people were arrested in central London on Saturday for peacefully holding signs.
The government plans to amend sections 12 and 14 of the Public Order Act 1986 so that police can consider the “cumulative impact” of protests.
Under the changes, police could instruct organisers to hold protests elsewhere if a site has seen repeated demonstrations.
…
Ms Mahmood said that “large repeated protests can leave sections of our country, particularly religious communities, feeling unsafe” and that this was evident in the Jewish community.
On Friday she called for pro-Palestine protesters to “step back” from demonstrations following an attack on a Manchester synagogue in which two people were killed the day before.
Yesterday Stop the War accused the government of weaponising the attack to ramp up its crackdown on the Palestine movement.
The group’s convener, Lindsey German, said: “We condemn the attack on the Manchester synagogue, just as we condemn recent attacks on mosques and hotels accommodating asylum-seekers.
“We wholeheartedly reject the implication that our peaceful marches are in any way responsible for the attack.
“Stop the War has never conflated Israel’s illegal actions with the British Jewish community and will continue to vociferously oppose any attempt to do so.”

Speaking at the 2025 Green Party Conference, Zack Polanski has called on the government to reverse the proscription of Palestine Action:
.@ZackPolanski: "The proscription of Palestine Action must be withdrawn & every parliamentarian who failed to vote against it needs to hang their heads in shame"

…
Foreign billionaires could be installed on a board that governs all aspects of life in Gaza while Palestinians have little input, according to a draft plan seen by the ABC.
A leaked document has revealed a possible structure for the so-called “Gaza International Transitional Authority” (GITA) which could take temporary control of the strip once the war ends.
The proposal, seen by the ABC, was drafted by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, a thinktank led by the former British prime minister.
The working document has since been updated and has informed, at least in part, US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan for the occupied Gaza Strip. The document details what might be in store for the people of Gaza and who could be controlling their lives in the near future.
Under the plan, GITA would have a hierarchical structure led by an international board that “exercises supreme strategic and political authority” and a chairman who leads the entire operation as “senior political executive”.
…
At least one Palestinian representative would be on the board provided they were “qualified”.
The document did not say what qualifications were needed but did say the Palestinian representative could “potentially” come from the business or security sector.
…
Plan ‘will fail’, critics say
Critics who have seen the draft plan say it does not put Palestinian people first.
John Na’em Snobar, a former diplomat in Egypt and Pakistan, and a Palestinian Christian, said “the people who are sitting around the table are motivated by capital interests”.
Mr Snobar said trade and investment in Gaza was a positive thing, but questioned: “Who is looking out for Palestinian interests in that scenario?”
He also criticised Trump’s 20-point plan saying: “No Palestinian leader I am aware of was consulted … in that sense the great lesson of the Abraham Accords was not learnt. You cannot have peace with Palestinians without Palestinians at the table.”
