Under pressure from Israel, the UK regime has shut down a unit collecting and monitoring Israeli war crimes, including racism, genocide and horrendous abuses of human rights.

The move means London will lose access to a database of some 26,000 verified human rights violations by West Jerusalem, the outlet has reported

The British Foreign Office has closed a special unit that had been keeping a record of breaches of international law by Israel in the Gaza Strip.

The shutdown happened despite UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper saying in a speech earlier in April that support for international law is a core British value and that it would be the focus of the department under her leadership.

The termination of the operations of the International Humanitarian Law (IHL) cell also means that funding will be cut for the Conflict and Security Monitoring Project run by the Center for Information Resilience (CIR.

The Foreign Office will lose access to a database of 26,000 verified violations by Israel put together by the Conflict and Security Monitoring Project.

The database containing validated evidence of Israeli war crimes is believed to be the world’s largest repository of such information.

Among other things, the incriminating database had been used by the authorities in London to decide if arms export control licenses to Israel should be suspended or not, it added.

The advocacy manager at Campaign Against Arms Trade, Katie Fallon, told the paper that the shutdown was aimed at making sure that the British government could obscure unimaginable violations and crimes committed against the most vulnerable people in conflict and sustain arms sales at any cost.

Israel Tax Authority customs data last October suggested that West Jerusalem had imported almost £1 million ($1.3 million) worth of UK-made munitions in the first nine months of 2025.

This was more than double the amount supplied in the previous three years.

Over 72,000 people have been killed and over 172,000 wounded by Israel’s airstrikes and ground campaign in Gaza so far, according to figures from the Palestinian health authorities.
