The decision, which an Israeli official said applied to parts for missile boats, does not appear to affect Israel’s military capabilities significantly.
…
An Israeli official said Britain canceled five licenses that applied to Saar-class missile boat parts after reviewing 182 licenses in all.
…
Britain has revoked or rejected arms-exporting licenses to Israel in the past, Israeli and British officials said. Britain is not a major Israeli defense supplier.
note that with 182 licenses, Britain is still not considered a “major” supplier. all of this is kabuki.
