A Surprising Report on Britain’s Role in Spying on Gaza for Israel

Key Issues

The "Declassified" website reported, citing reports, that the British Labor Party government ordered 100 spy flights over the Gaza Strip to assist Israeli intelligence. The website explained that "the average number of spy flights allowed by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is equivalent to more than one flight per day since he took office as Prime Minister." It added that "the spy flights, which began in December, continued at a rapid pace, despite Starmer's administration suspending 30 arms export licenses last month." The website indicated that "during the first full month of the Labor Party in office in August, the Royal Air Force flew 42 flights over the devastated Palestinian territories." It pointed out that "the flights departed from Akrotiri - the British air base in Cyprus towards the Gaza Strip." As pressure on the British government mounts, concerns grow that intelligence could be used in military operations that could worsen the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
