At the request of the United States, Great Britain sent a senior officer and a small group of military personnel to Israel to participate in an international mission to monitor the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. This was stated by Defense Minister John Healey, emphasizing that Britain "plays a supporting role" in ensuring peace. This is reported by Sky News, writes UNN.

He added that the British officer will serve as deputy to the American commander in the civil-military coordination center. It will also include representatives from Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and the UAE.
A Ministry of Defense spokesman clarified that British troops will not operate in Gaza itself: "A small number of planning officers have joined the US-led center to ensure the UK's integration into post-conflict stability efforts."
According to Healey, the ceasefire agreement, brokered by Donald Trump, "created an opportunity for long-term peace." The US, for its part, sent about 200 troops to Israel, who will also not participate in operations in the Gaza Strip.
