Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to Human Rights Watch's report entitled Lebanon: Israel Unlawfully Using White Phosphorus, published on 9 March 2026, whether her Department has assessed the compliance with international humanitarian law of Israel's conduct of hostilities in Lebanon in the context of arms export controls.

The Government is aware of the Human Rights Watch report and takes all reported violations of international humanitarian law extremely seriously. The UK does not export any bombs or ammunition for use in Israeli military operations in Lebanon.
