We have conducted a full review of extant export licences going to Israel to assess whether they might make a material contribution to Israel's unlawful occupation. We have not suspended additional extant licences, at this stage because licences for items that might materially contribute to the occupation have already been suspended because of Israel's conduct in the Gaza conflict. However, we now have in effect an 'additional lock' on relevant licences. We will not now approve licences for items that might be used in Gaza or that would make a material contribution to the occupation.

This Government remains committed to delivering for traders and removing unnecessary trade barriers. The Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Agreement will mean most movements of plants and plant products between Great Britain and the European Union being undertaken without the certificates or SPS border controls that are currently required.
Defra is engaging with key stakeholders to understand business needs ahead of the implementation of the SPS Agreement. This includes plans to work with sector stakeholders on how best to support businesses with preparing for and transitioning to new digital systems and processes under the SPS agreement.

This Government would not issue or maintain an export licence where there is a clear risk the goods might be used to commit or facilitate a serious violation of Internal Humanitarian Law (IHL), including with respect to the treatment of detainees. Additionally, in light of the unlawful occupation, we will now refuse all licence applications to Israel for exports that materially contribute to the occupation.
We have also reviewed all extant licences for exports to Israel on the same basis. All licences are maintained under careful and continual review, and we can and will suspend or revoke licences where we assess them to be no longer compliant.
