EMERGENCY PROTEST Support the appeal against the UK government arming Israel

Rally outside the Royal Courts of Justice, The Strand

Thursday 9th October 2025 from 9am

Dear Friend,

Join us to make some noise in solidarity with Al-Haq at the appeal hearing over the UK government’s loophole to continue sending spare parts for the deadly F-35 combat aircraft to Israel.

This is the last opportunity for our legal system to hold this government to account and take the courageous, legal, and moral option, and uphold international law.

UK industry makes 15% of every F-35, with the value of UK components in Israel’s F-35s estimated by CAAT to be well over £572m. This is by far the most significant part of the UK arms trade with Israel.

At least 75 UK companies are involved in manufacturing components. For example, BAE Systems makes every rear fuselage for the F-35 and also makes its active interceptor system. Leonardo makes its targeting lasers and L3 Harris makes the weapons release cables.

Israel is using its 45 F-35s intensively to bomb the Palestinian people in Gaza, including using horrifically destructive 2,000lb bombs. By March this year, Israel had carried out 15,000 flight hours with the F-35 since the start of the war, using the planes in “beast mode”, with extra munitions attached to the wings.

Stand in solidarity with Al-Haq as they face sanctions from the US government as part of a campaign of harassment and intimidation against them for attempting to hold Israeli leaders accountable for international crimes against the Palestinian people.

Bring banners, flags and placards!
