Britain will send surveillance aircraft, two Royal Navy support ships and about 100 Royal Marines to the eastern Mediterranean from Friday to support Israel and help prevent any sudden escalation of fighting in the Middle East.
Patrol flights of Poseidon P-8 aircraft and other planes will begin on Friday, Downing St announced, tasked partly with monitoring any efforts to transfer of weapons from countries such as Iran or Russia to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Existing UK military units and fighter aircraft, based at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, are also on alert as Israel gears up for an expected ground assault on Gaza after last Saturday’s surprise attack by Hamas, which has left more than 1,300 Israeli civilians dead. The death toll in Gaza has risen above 1,400.
Concern remains high that Hezbollah, based in Lebanon, may seek to open a second front from the north with the backing of its ally, Iran. Earlier on Thursday, Syria said that its airports in Damascus and Aleppo were bombed by the Israeli air force, most likely in an effort to disrupt any supplies of weaponry bound for the group.
Rishi Sunak, the prime minister, said the UK’s intention was to “support efforts to ensure regional stability and prevent further escalation”, and to “ensure humanitarian aid reaches the thousands of innocent victims of this barbaric attack from Hamas terrorists”.
Earlier this week, a US aircraft carrier, the Gerald R Ford, arrived in the eastern Mediterranean, with a cruiser and four destroyers in support, aimed also at deterring any actor from “seeking to escalate the situation or widen this war”.
The UK’s naval task group is significantly smaller, consisting of support ships. It is led by the RFA Lyme Bay, a logistics support vessel, and RFA Argus, the Royal Navy’s emergency medical ship, which has a capacity of 100 beds.
The Ministry of Defence said this was “a contingency measure” to support humanitarian efforts, although it was not immediately spelled out who they would be assisting. Gaza is subject to an Israeli blockade.
Britain already has two warships in the region, HMS Duncan, tasked to Nato, in the eastern Mediterranean, and HMS Lancaster, part of the UK’s permanent naval presence in the Persian Gulf.
Downing St also said that Sunak had spoken to Egypt’s president, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, earlier on Thursday as part of an effort, No 10 said, to “understand the wider regional picture and underscore the importance of supporting civilians to leave Gaza”.
Nazis everywhere. There’s even talk of the Nazi SAS going in… lol
Putin needs to attack the NWO Nazi West. This military buildup in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea could be a Crimean surprise.
How fast did America and UK act wow its just mind-blowing. 70 odd years of occupation and it is at this point they act in favour of the occupier. What do you expect from a colonisers.
The Brisraelis stink of banker shit
Great to see that the British government has its priorities right. Israel’s security is obviously far more important than that of Britain and its people. It gives an idea of who controls the country, and it’s not the British people. It’s even more blatantly obvious with the Americans.
Monitoring any efforts to transfer of weapons from countries such as Iran or Russia to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Are they excluding the monitoring of transfer of weapons from UK to Ukraine and thence to Hamas on the black market?
ZOGUK To Palestinians:
“We’re here to help you… GET THE FCK OUTTA GAZA!!”
The Israeli national anthem has often been suggested has being, “Onward Christian Soldiers”…
Maybe they might also add a verse including Islamic soldiers as well…
Welcome to ZOG (Zionist Occupied Globe) where every ‘nation’ is a satrapy of Israel. It was all a staged false flag/psyop committed by Mossad-Hamas to provide the pretext or justification to raze Gaza & kill thousands of Arabs. Mongrels vs. mongrels. But hey, this is the worthless overpopulated planet of scum millions of white Christian-Communist Allied morons defeated Hitler & Nazi Germany for. So rejoice in your ‘victory’.
Fight the Jew
Today because tomorrow
Palestinian will be you
…and your children under the rubble
Christian is not a word that has a real meaning anymore! These are the people worldwide who claim to be Christian but are really Judaeo-christian, meaning they are just Jew proselytes.
It’s hard to find old [ youngest holocaust ‘survivors’ are 78] Jewish Russian women to hustle $25 bucks from, yet millions of these idiots send their money over again and again. Proving they are idiots.
Yahwey IS coming, and soon. Signs Of The season. Know what they are?
Luke 21:28
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
There are now so few ‘virgins’ of faith in this world of Tares, how few must be those who are awake?

The Lord Jesus Christ is not coming first to this world. He is coming in the air, in the blink of an eye, and returning to Heaven until the last few years to the end come, and even then He must cut the time short or there would be no flesh left alive. Think about that. Let it sink in!

Presumably the British Navy is going to start ferrying the 2 million or so dispossessed ‘refugee’ Palestinians back to Kent… for a hot bath and tasty meal… and regular welfare …
Because I’m sure the ‘jewes’ attitude will be as always ..’Send them to Europe’…
and our Indian Government will undoubtedly accommodate.. being immigrants themselves…
Getting tired of being labelled a conspiracy theorists when you say the “jews own Britain”.
The British taxpayers is FORCED to give the jews private army in Britain TEN+MILLION POUNDS A YEAR.
The jews have ordered TWO GIANT AMERICAN AIRCRAFT CARRIERS TO PARK OUTSIDE ISRAEL.THEY’VE ALSO TOLD BRITAIN TO DO THE SAME…..along with intelligence ships.
Meantime British taxpayers have been told they can’t afford to complete the high speed rail line to Manchester.The jews are becoming a HUGE DRAIN on the British economy….
WATCH OUT!….The British Secret Police MI5 will be targeting anyone who objects to the jews robbing Britain….not to mention the jews themselves.
Meantime in the real world….the British Police “doesn’t have the resources” to control stabbings on the streets…..generally committed by illegal immigrants…..
@Arnie
What happened to the 24th September?
How about either revising the date and giving a “reason” or stating that “it” happened and we are not acknowledging “it”?
In the case of you being mistaken, maybe you could admit it, and revise your belief system accordingly. We have all been wrong in our lives, continue to be so in certain matters, but we can at least put our hand up and say, “I was wrong”…
