“Elbit Systems is deeply implicated in Israel’s grave violations of international law, including its genocide in Gaza”
Early Day Motion 2376: Israel’s use of cluster munitions
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign have launched a tool for activists to contact their MPs to support a parliamentary motion against Israel’s use of banned cluster munitions and end contracts with arms manufacturer Elbit Systems.
Israel has used banned cluster munitions in its recent bombings of Lebanon, but our government continues to give contracts to the manufacturer of these banned bombs and allows them to operate factories in Britain.
Imran Hussain MP has tabled Early Day Motion (EDM) 2376 highlighting this and demanding the government takes action. Please take two minutes to email your MP to ask them to sign EDM 2376 demanding an end to contracts with Elbit Systems and the closure of their British factories.

Israel’s use of cluster munitions
EDM (Early Day Motion)2376: tabled on 26 November 2025
That this House expresses its alarm at evidence showing Israel used cluster munitions in its 2023 onwards invasion and bombings of Lebanon, which has killed more than 4,000 people in total; highlights that under the Convention on Cluster Munitions, an international treaty signed by Britain and more than 100 other states, the use, production, transfer and stockpiling of cluster munitions is prohibited; notes evidence showing Israel’s largest arms company Elbit Systems was one of the manufacturers of the cluster munitions used in Israel’s recent assault on Lebanon; further notes Elbit Systems is deeply implicated in Israel’s grave violations of international law, including its genocide in Gaza; further expresses alarm that the Government allows Elbit Systems to operate factories in Britain and has awarded the company lucrative military contracts; also expresses alarm that British bank Barclays continues to invest in Elbit Systems, despite having a policy to end financial ties with companies that trade in or manufacture cluster munitions; urges therefore Barclays bank to end all financial ties with Elbit Systems; calls for the Government to implement measures to prevent companies in Britain from aiding international law violations; and further calls on the Government, in light of this new evidence, in addition to Elbit Systems’ role in Israel’s grave violations of international law against Palestinians, to end all arms sales to Israel, cancel all contracts with Elbit Systems, commit to not entering into any future contracts with Elbit Systems, and to close down all of Elbit Systems’ factories in Britain.
