Declassified UK claims that the attack to Gaza was pre-planned.

In a landmark “Roadmap” signed by Britain and Israel in March last year, they committed “to tackle shared threats” as part of a “close strategic partnership, with extensive defence and security cooperation”. The 2023 Roadmap goes way beyond a previous memorandum of understanding between the UK and Israel signed in 2021.

London and Tel Aviv also committed themselves “to take decisive and concerted actions against globally designated terrorists and terrorist entities”, a nod to Hamas and Hezbollah.

In a separate section on Iran, the Roadmap states that “we work closely to counter the current threat from Iran” and that “we will seek to counter Iran’s destabilising regional activity”. “We will work to ensure Iran never has nuclear weapon capabilities”, adds the accord between the two nuclear weapons powers.

It calls for “tackling the disproportionate focus on Israel in the UN and other international bodies, including attempts to delegitimise it or deny its right to self-defence. All states have a duty to comply with their obligations under international law, but scrutiny must be measured, impartial and proportionate.”

The Roadmap also called for “strengthening cooperation and coordination in the UN and other multilateral fora, in line with national interests and priorities, and advancing Israel-UK alignment on key global challenges”.

Another section of the Roadmap promises British protection for Israel in international legal bodies such as the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

In reference to an earlier case concerning the West Bank, it stated: “The UK and Israel believe that the latest ICJ referral on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict represents an inappropriate recourse to the Advisory Opinion mechanism as this undermines the efforts to achieve a settlement through direct negotiations between the parties”.

Then there is the secret military agreement signed between the UK and Israel in December 2020.

Declassified discovered the existence of this accord from a tweet by the Israel Defense Forces. The UK government never publicised it.

What does the agreement commit the UK to militarily? Is the UK putting into practice those commitments now, over Gaza? If it’s so innocuous, why does the government keep it secret?

As far as Declassified understands, this accord has only ever been mentioned once in all of the British mainstream media.

Ben Wallace, the defence secretary who signed the secret accord with Israel in 2020, last December accused his ally of embarking on a “killing rage” in Gaza, adding that its attacks on Hamas were “crude and indiscriminate”.

Wallace has since left his post.

In a coordinated action, the US, the UK, and Canada built a large network and sanctioned the supply of drone parts related to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Israeli university heads invite US unis to repress anti-genocide protesters (with “tools that go beyond the tools provided by the university administration”, presumably violence). Evidence of their support for genocide and transforming US campuses in settler colonial outposts.

Nobody in Biden’s administration is saying a word against this, obviously, because they are all paid by AIPAC.
