Join us on Weds 21 October at 11am at Elbit Systems, 38 Bolingbroke Way, Bristol, BS34 6FE.
The British government allows Elbit Systems to operate factories and research facilities and grants it licenses to export weapons components to Israel. These sites also produce goods sold to the British military, generating profits used by Elbit Systems to manufacture more weapons for Israel.
The government has said it will “refuse all licence applications for arms and other exports that materially contribute to the occupation”, but this falls far short of what is required. It must impose a comprehensive two-way arms embargo on Israel.
It’s also said it will take action against specific companies enabling Israel’s illegal settlements. This must mean shutting down Elbit Systems’ sites in Britain.
