The United Kingdom will send patrol, surveillance aircraft and two Royal Navy ships to the Eastern Mediterranean “to support Israel,” the British Prime Minister’s Office announced on October 12.
“The Prime Minister (Rishi Sunak) has directed UK military assets to be deployed to the eastern Mediterranean to support Israel, reinforce regional stability and prevent escalation,” the Number 10 said in a statement.
It added that maritime patrol and surveillance aircraft will begin flying in the region as of October 13 “to track threats to regional stability such as the transfer of weapons to terrorist groups.”
“Meanwhile, the Royal Navy task group will be moved to the eastern Mediterranean next week as a contingency measure to support humanitarian efforts,” reads the statement.
“We must be unequivocal in making sure the types of horrific scenes we have seen this week will not be repeated. Alongside our allies, the deployment of our world class military will support efforts to ensure regional stability and prevent further escalation”, Sunak said in the statement.
British Defence Secretary Grant Shapps said the vessels were not warships, but “ships that can assist with hospital facilities”.
He told BBC Breakfast that sending the boats was also about “deterring others from getting involved in the region” and “maligning external influence”.
The British move came six days after the Hamas Movement and other Palestinian armed factions in the Gaza Strip launched a surprise attack against Israel. At least 1,300 Israelis were killed in the attack and more than 1,500 Palestinians lost their lives in retaliatory Israeli strikes.
It’s worth noting that the United States has already deployed a carrier strike group in the Eastern Mediterranean in support of Israel and is reportedly considering deploying another group.

neskutočné ako sa dokážu usa a vb miešať do konfliktov ktoré sa odohrávajú tisícky kilometrov od nich. pritom vždy podporujú agresora, zvláštna mi to náhoda, že?
i must say, those uncle sam bases in eurasia must go….i mean, bom boom go kaboom kind of go away.
the uk rushes in to maintain the integrity of an open air prison where millions of palestinians are condemned to die. the uk is soulless.
the bought and paid for establishment puppets all grovel in front of the zio killers.
very many ordinary brits despise the kooks.
today gaza, tomorrow the usa, we too are an open air prison, the fence on our southern border is meant to keep us in; not to keep others out.
almost funny as hell, the us and its invasion fleet as well, but no proof whatsoever that it was actually hamas and not the idf; still, i’m surprised; i was expecting a chinese invasion fleet to come to the rescue, but then their fleet wasn’t already stationed in the mediterranean; maybe tomorrow.
what. have they got a couple that run
they’ve brought the ships in to detain refugees at the point of origin?
saves refugees the trouble of getting to the uk to be impounded on a ship. bring the ship to the refugee. genius. braverman with her unmerited kc title is smarter than we all thought.
horay, now hesbolach can do some target exercise whit there anti-ship missils. when the yankee or uk ships came in territorial waters……kaaabboooom…..blub blub blub crabs and lobsters, your dinner is served.
why not just said the truth that the carrier is for support the coming ground attack by idf.
gotta hand it to the british: they were always good slaves. they fought all of the global rothschild wars proudly. and what good that did them. instead of maintaining (and re acquiring) their super power status — they lost it.
to this day — the british proudly think of themselves as great imperialists — even though they are poor by first world standards and a vassal of the joonited states. now their economy is shite. no real power projection. and they think their way out is more war? this is why jews have zero respect for the gentile, ultimately. you are herded to the slaughterhouse and you never wise up, do you?
