          Pro-Palestinian protesters display a banner while demonstrating outside the High Court in London, Britain, 18 November 2024. Palestinian human rights organization Al-Haq and Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) are taking legal action against the British Department for Business and Trade, challenging exports of weapons and military equipment to Israel. A hearing to discuss how to progress the case is taking place on 18 November at the High Court, after the hearing scheduled for October 2024 was adjourned after the Government had suspended some licenses.
