UK deploys small number of military officers to Israel following US request

A small contingent of British military planning officers has been sent to Israel to join a task force led by the United States to support stabilization efforts in Gaza, the UK defense ministry said.

Gaza mediators - the United States, Egypt and Qatar - stepped up their efforts this week to stabilize the early stages of the truce between Israel and Hamas and to push forward U.S. President Donald Trump's 20-point ceasefire plan.
