Elbit Systems UK

Elbit Systems UK, a subsidiary of the Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems, is currently newsworthy due to protests by Palestine Action activists. These activists, imprisoned for alleged actions against Elbit Systems UK facilities, initiated a hunger strike to protest the company's operations and its ties to the Israeli government. Recent developments include the end of the hunger strike by three activists, reportedly triggered by news that Elbit Systems UK was denied a £2 billion UK government contract. However, another activist remains on hunger strike, with serious concerns raised about their health. The protests highlight the controversy surrounding Elbit Systems UK's involvement in arms manufacturing and its perceived role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, making it a focal point for activism and debate regarding government contracts with arms manufacturers.
