Permalink UK refuses to say if Israeli bomber planes are using its Cyprus base

UK refuses to say if Israeli bomber planes are using its Cyprus base. After anonymous British officials reveal Israeli F-35s bombing Gaza have had access to Britain’s sprawling air base on nearby Cyprus, the UK military refuses to deny the visits, raising further suspicions about complicity in war crimes. | The British government is refusing to divulge any information about whether its bases on Cyprus are being used to facilitate the bombing of Gaza.  Kenny MacAskill, Alba MP for East Lothian, asked the Ministry of Defence (MoD) if any Israeli Air Force F-35s fighter aircraft have landed at Akrotiri, the vast RAF base on Cyprus, since 7 October 2023.  RAF Akrotiri has long been the staging post for British bombing campaigns in the Middle East, and sits 180 miles from Israel’s capital, Tel Aviv. The flight time is 40 minutes. The MoD replied...

💬 “...for operational security reasons and as a matter of policy, the Ministry of Defence does not offer comment or information relating to foreign nations’ military aircraft movements or operations.”

This comes after the Daily Express recently reported “senior sources” telling the newspaper Israeli F-35s had until recently had access to the UK’s Cyprus base. The sources added that Israel had now been told not to land the planes at RAF Akrotiri until its war in Gaza was over.
