The organisations, which are seeking to overturn the court’s decision, applied for a judicial review of the government’s export licences for the sale of British weapons capable of being used in Israel’s action in Gaza.
The legal challenge stated that the government has granted licences for the sale of British weapons to Israel under a wide range of categories in recent years, including components for military radars and targeting equipment, components for military support, combat aircraft and naval vessels.
In January, court documents revealed that Foreign Office legal advisers were unable to conclude that Israel was in compliance with international humanitarian law (IHL) in its bombardment of Gaza.
On 18 December, the government decided to continue arms sales licenses despite serious concerns expressed by Foreign Office officials about aspects of the Israeli assault against Hamas.
In January the international court of justice ruled in The Hague that Israel must ensure its forces do not commit acts of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
Last week a Dutch court ordered the government of the Netherlands to stop supplying F35 fighter jet parts to Israel within seven days, citing violations of international and humanitarian law.
