Israel could cut UK security ties if Starmer recognises Palestine: Report

UNITED KINGDOM, AUG 8 – Israel warns it may halt intelligence sharing with the UK if Britain recognizes Palestine, raising concerns about risks to both countries' national security, The Times reported.

  • Israel may reduce or end security and intelligence cooperation with the UK if Prime Minister Keir Starmer proceeds with plans to recognize Palestine.
  • This prospect follows Starmer's announcement amid rising tensions after Hamas's October 7 attack and Israel's plans for military control of Gaza City.
  • The UK has provided Israel with critical intelligence, including aiding in foiling an alleged Iranian attack in London, while Israel supplied technology used by British forces.
  • A diplomatic source stated, "London needs to tread carefully" since Israel values the partnership but recent decisions have increased strain and risks for the UK.
  • If Israel cuts ties, it could undermine UK national security and mark a turning point in UK-Israel relations amid ongoing Gaza conflict and Palestinian state recognition debates.
