In a statement, the Foreign Ministry saw that the UK's move is an "important step towards enhancing the principles of the international humanitarian law and the human rights."

The Foreign Ministry also said that the decision "mirrors a British will to seek de-escalation and support the path of negotiations and dialogue, in order to reach a ceasefire agreement in Gaza and spare the civilians further violence and destruction.

It called the concerned states to follow suit and review their policies regarding arms exportations to Israel.
