The UK Foreign Office has shut down a specialized unit responsible for monitoring breaches of international law by Israel in Gaza and Lebanon. The closure, attributed to budget cuts, also terminates funding for a major monitoring project run by the Centre for Information Resilience. This move means UK officials will lose access to the detailed evidence and analysis the unit and its partners provided. The decision comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Israel's military campaigns in both regions.
