The UK will likely announce it will suspend issuing export licenses for arms sales to Israel in the coming days, officials in Jerusalem said on Monday.

The officials believe the decision in London will be made following the opinion issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) last week, that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories is a violation of international law.
