[[:British support for Israel in the Israel–Hamas war]] → {{no redirect|United Kingdom and the Israel–Hamas war}} – Not only match two other articles, Qatar and the United States about their role in this war, but a word like "support" isn't neutral even if the UK policy is to support Israel in this conflict. The article does make mention of opposition to the government support for Israel, therefore this isn't solely about support for Israel. The title should be reflected in a more precise manner than an outright position of support or opposition in the title.

Page bias
Can't edit this page however the current tone seems very biased - it does not reflect the extremely small scale of UK arms exports to Israel, and seems to imply that they are huge. British Ministers have stated that UK arms exports amount to only 0.02% of Israel's military imports (https://hansard.parliament.uk/pdf/commons/2024-03-26), and this is mostly limited to parts for the American-supplied F-35 which they are contractually obligated to provide.
Additionally, I don't believe this article currently accurately reflects the UK's political position on the conflict. They have been calling for a ceasefire for some time (https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/the-uk-has-long-called-for-an-immediate-humanitarian-pause-leading-to-a-sustainable-ceasefire-as-the-fastest-way-to-get-hostages-out-and-aid-in-uk-s) and while they do "support the Israeli right to self-defence" they have stated that this is "not unconditional" and that they "expect [them] to abide by international humanitarian law, even when challenged in this way" (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68751550). The article seems to suggest UK support for Israel is akin to that of the US, when the UK has, for example, been abstaining from UN votes rather than voting against like the US (https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/12/1144717) Flobberz (talk) 12:36, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- Absolutely! The UK’s arms support to Israel is dwarfed by American arms exports to Israel and also Israel’s very large domestic arms industry, which is currently the world’s 9th largest. Bean guy2 (talk) 21:37, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
