UK Sent THOUSANDS of "Munitions of War" to Israel Despite Ban | Matt Kennard

Investigative journalist Matt Kennard claims the UK government has been lying about its involvement in Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

A new report out this week shows that the Labour government sent thousands of “munitions of war” to Israel after proclaiming a new policy that it would not send any military equipment that could be used in Gaza.

The revelations give new impetus to calls for a full public inquiry in the UK role in the genocide in Gaza. They also further implicate British ministers in war crimes, which could interest international legal institutions.

The findings show that 8,360 separate munitions, which could include bombs and missiles, went to Israel from the UK after September 2024 when the new policy was adopted.

It also shows the huge levels of military support Britain has provided since the beginning of the genocide, including a shipment of 150,000 bullets as Israel began its campaign in October 2023.

Palestine Deep Dive’s Ahmed Alnaouq discusses the report with investigative journalist Matt Kennard who authored an exclusive report for Drop Site News on it today.
