Campaigners will apply for emergency injunction to stop exports of F-35 parts used in ‘extermination campaign’

• Middle East crisis – latest updates

Campaigners trying to block UK sales of F-35 jet engine parts to Israel will apply for an emergency high court injunction in the light of the international criminal court issuing arrest warrants for the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Campaigners at Global Legal Action Network (Glan) and Al-Haq say it is unconscionable British manufacturers are still selling parts that can be used to bomb Palestinians in Gaza. The government has until Friday to file a defence.
