Government Admits UK Is Training Israeli Soldiers
- On June 11, 2025, Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard revealed that the UK is engaged in routine defence cooperation with Israel by instructing a small group of Israel Defense Forces members through courses held within the United Kingdom.
- This disclosure came shortly after the UK Government imposed sanctions on two far-right Israeli cabinet members, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, citing their role in promoting hostility towards Palestinians.
- The UK also continues surveillance flights over Israel and Gaza since December 2023 aimed at locating hostages, while maintaining routine defence engagement with Israel despite concerns over Gaza.
- The Gaza Health Ministry reported on Thursday that over 55,000 Palestinians have died since the conflict began after Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel.
- The UK’s role in training Israeli forces and ongoing military support amid widespread deaths and sanctions signals sustained but increasingly scrutinized involvement in the Israel-Gaza conflict.
