Most Brits want UK supplies for Israeli warplanes to be halted over Gaza war

By staff9 July 2025No Comments4 Mins Read

Most Brits want UK-made spare part supplies being shipped to Israel for their F35 warplanes to be stopped because of Israel’s involvement in deadly airstrikes on Palestinians in Gaza

Most Brits believe the government should not approve the supply of spare parts for Israeli F-35 jets because of the Gaza war. Polling shows 55% are against supplies for the F-35, according to Save the Children, Christian Aid, Oxfam and Medical Aid for Palestinians, who commissioned the survey.

The YouGov study reveals 69% of Labour voters as well as 64% of Liberal Democrat voters say the UK should stop supplies. More than a third – 38% – of Tory supporters who voted conservative in the last election believe the supplies should end. And one in three Reform UK (34%) and 83% of Greens voters also support halting these exports to Israel. The High Court ruled on June 30 that the decision lies with the government and not the courts..

Judges decided it was a decision for ministers accountable to Parliament and the public. The High Court acknowledged UK arms are at risk of being used in violations of international humanitarian law in Gaza.

Save the Children says lethal F-35 fighter jets are being used in attacks on Gaza where it is believed more than 57,000 Palestinians have been killed. That includes 17,000 children.

Now, with the responsibility lying with the government Save the Children, Christian Aid, Oxfam and Medical Aid for Palestinians want the UK to stop being an ally to further killings in Gaza. Save the Children stated: “The message from voters is clear: the British public does not support the continued export of UK-made F-35 fighter jet parts to the Government of Israel.”

Alison Griffin, Director of Campaigns at Save the Children UK, said: “The UK Government’s stance on Gaza is not just contradictory — it’s morally indefensible. “Ministers say they want an end to the war, yet they continue to license the export of parts for F-35 fighter jets used to bomb densely populated areas.

“You cannot call for peace while fuelling war. Children in Gaza are being killed and live in unthinkable conditions. This is not a distant tragedy — this is the reality right now, and it is happening with the UK’s support. Gaza is the most dangerous place in the world to be a child.

“We are calling on the government to act. Listen to the public. End the hypocrisy. Stop arming the Government of Israel and help end this horror for innocent children and their families.”

Save the Children has been in Gaza since 1953 and has a permanent presence there where it delivers lifesaving health, nutrition, and protection support. Rohan Talbot, Director of Advocacy and Campaigns at Medical Aid for Palestinians, said: “The British public have spoken: they do not want the UK arming Israel.

“Yet the government continues to supply parts for F-35 fighter jets that are being used to destroy Gaza’s health system, and to drop the bombs that are tearing through shelters, families, and the bodies of Palestinians every day.

“The public wants this to stop. So do we. The UK must end all arms transfers to Israel – immediately – and finally cease being an ally to Israel’s atrocities.”

Polling was commissioned by Save the Children and conducted by YouGov. The total sample size was 2,338 adults. Fieldwork was undertaken between July 1 – 2, 2025.

Respondents were asked whether they think the UK government should or should not continue to license the export of parts for F-35 fighter jets to the Government of Israel.

Israeli airstrikes killed at least 40 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including ten members of a family sheltering in a tent, hospital officials said on Wednesday. The strikes came as US President Donald Trump pushed for a ceasefire that might end the war and free dozens of Israeli hostages.

Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the second time in two days at the White House on Tuesday evening, but there was no sign of a breakthrough. Netanyahu has vowed to continue the 21-month war until Hamas is destroyed, while the militant group has said it will only release the remaining hostages in return for a lasting ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
