Activists have claimed to possess evidence indicating that government ministers attempted to sway police and prosecutors regarding protests against an Israeli arms manufacturer. According to Palestine Action, internal documents obtained through freedom of information requests reveal that Home Office ministers and their staff sought to influence law enforcement's response to activists targeting the UK facilities of Elbit Systems UK, an Israeli arms company. The briefing notes, which were gathered prior to the Hamas attacks on October 7 and Israel's subsequent military actions in Gaza, outline government meetings aimed at providing "reassurance" to Elbit Systems UK amidst ongoing direct action campaigns led by Palestine Action.
