Report reveals UK military collaboration with Israel in Gaza genocide
The British Palestine Committee (BPS) has revealed the full extent of Britain’s military collaboration with Israel during the regime’s campaign of genocide in Gaza.
A BPS report published on Tuesday detailed Britain’s provision to Israel of various military resources, including logistic support and military bases.
“A full year ago, the International Court of Justice issued urgent provisional measures warning that Israel’s assault on Gaza amounted to a serious risk of genocide,” said the BPS director Sara Husseini.
“As the world looked on in horror, Israel continued its genocidal aggression in Gaza for a further 12 months. The UK has provided active military assistance to Israel throughout.”
According to the report, the UK government has either directly sold military equipment to Israel or assisted the regime in procuring weapons from the international markets.
“This two-way partnership supports Israeli companies in the development of technology that is used to kill Palestinians and deepens collaboration between the British and Israeli militaries.”
The BPS report also pointed to the strategic role of two British military installations in Cyprus. These bases have been critical in the transport of military equipment to Israel.
“Although these bases operate as collaborative sites, all activities on British territory require UK government approval.”
These installations operate as key Royal Air Force (RAF) bases in the Mediterranean, but have been used to transfer intelligence, weapons, and personnel to Israel since October 2023, the report said.
“British institutions and officials are implicated in the gravest breaches of international law.”
The report said the UK has not only been failing to meet its third-party responsibilities to uphold international law, but also actively complicit in Israel’s massacre of the Palestinian people.
On January 15, the Israeli regime, having failed to achieve any of its objectives including the “elimination” of Hamas or the release of captives, was forced to agree to a ceasefire deal with the Palestinian resistance movement.
