Recently, the British Labour government authorized 100 spy flights over the Gaza Strip to support Israeli intelligence operations, as reported by the “Declassified” website. This decision has raised concerns over potential implications for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Despite suspending 30 arms export licenses, Prime Minister Keir Starmer has allowed these spy flights to continue at a rapid pace, averaging more than one flight per day since taking office. These flights, originating from the British air base in Cyprus, aim to gather intelligence in the devastated Palestinian territories.

With mounting pressure on the UK government, there is a fear that the intelligence collected from these flights could be used in military operations that worsen the situation in Gaza. The increased surveillance by British authorities has sparked debates and criticisms regarding their involvement in the conflict.

As tensions rise, the international community watches closely to see how these developments will impact the already fragile situation in Gaza.
