LONDON (Reuters) -British business and trade minister Jonathan Reynolds was on Thursday interrupted by two protesters opposing arms sales to Israel who stormed the stage as he was about to speak at a think-tank event on trade.

"They have not stopped the trade in F-35s," one individual shouted, referring to F-35 fighter jets. One protester accused the government of being complicit in genocide.

Responding to the protest, Reynolds said Britain had suspended arms exports to Israel.

"We haven't suspended F-35s because they're integral to our national security and particularly the defense of Ukraine," he said.
