Venezuela condemns seizure of President Maduro's plane in Dominican Republic as act of piracy by the United States
"The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela informs the international community that the authorities of the United States of America have once again committed a criminal act, which can only be described as piracy, by illegally confiscating an aircraft used by the President of the Republic. They justify their actions through coercive measures that they unilaterally and illegally impose across the world. This demonstrates that no state or legitimate government is immune to these illegal attempts to circumvent international law," reads a communiqué published on Telegram by the Venezuelan Minister of Communications, Culture, and Tourism Freddy Ñáñez.
The incident marks the second Venezuelan plane seized by the US. A Boeing 747 belonging to the Venezuelan company Empresa de Transporte Aéreocargo del Sur (Emtrasur) was detained at Argentina's Ezeiza Airport in 2022. A local court decided earlier this year to transfer the plane to the US, after which it was flown to Florida.

"The United States has shown that it uses its economic and military power to intimidate and pressure states like the Dominican Republic into becoming complicit in criminal acts. This is an example of the so-called 'rules-based order,' which, in disregard of international law, seeks to establish the right of the strong, creating and imposing rules that serve its interests with impunity," the Venezuelan government stated.

Following breach of international humanitarian law, UK to halt some arms exports to Israel - report
The UK will suspend 30 of its 350 arms exports licenses to Israel due to a “clear risk” that they could be used in breaches of international humanitarian law, Foreign Secretary David Lammy told parliament.
Lammy added that the partial ban will include items “which could be used in the current conflict in Gaza” against Hamas but did not include parts for F-35 fighter jets, Al Jazeera reported.
However, Samel Perlo-Freeman of the Campaign Against Arms Trade told Al Jazeera that while the UK has “acknowledged for the first time that Israel is not complying with international law”, there is “one huge, huge loophole” regarding components for the F-35 fighter jets still being supplied to Israel.
UK officials argued that suspending critical components within a global pool of "spare parts" could harm the maintenance of F-35s in other countries, the Financial Times reported.

“We had confirmation just today from a Danish NGO Danwatch which got confirmation from the Israeli military that an F-35 was used to drop 3,000-pound bombs on al-Mawasi, a so-called safe zone, on July 19,” he said. “So saying that you’re going to stop arms that might be used in Gaza except for the F-35 is a bit like saying you’re going vegetarian except for bacon.”
