Recommendation 8
8
Reaffirm Israel's right to defend itself amidst F-35 component licence debate.
Conclusion
The Government decision to licence the sale of F-35 components to Israel has been subject to ongoing dispute and difference of opinion amongst the UK public and politicians. The Committee recognises the real threat to Israel from Iran and its proxies who are on record as wishing to destroy the Israeli state. We therefore reaffirm the right of Israel to defend itself. (Conclusion, Paragraph 59)
