Asked by a British station journalist about whether Great Britain would come to Israel, if asked, Reeves reminded that “in the past (United Kingdom) was supported by Israel when the rockets arrived.” “Israel has the right to defend itself,” she added.
Our main goal, however, is currently de -escalation, not further escalation of tensions – she assured.
Israel versus Iran. The UK government reacts
Last year, Great Britain got involved in Israel's protection against Iran's rocket attacks. On Saturday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced sending additional combat aircraft to the region. The Air Force of Great Britain is already present in the Middle East as part of an operation to counteract threats in Iraq and Syria.
“We move resources to the region, including aircraft, which are to be used to support in crisis situations,” said Starmer on board a plane flying to Canada to the three -day G7 peak, which will start on Sunday in Kananaskis in the province of Albert.
The government in London appealed to its citizens on Sunday about “avoiding any trips to Israel and the occupied areas of Palestine.” Earlier guidelines advised against all travels to Israel, unless they are necessary.
