British military made at least 49 trips to Israel during Gaza war

Frequency of visits is four times higher than previously reported.

13 November 2025
  

Britain’s Ministry of Defence made 49 official visits to Israel since 7 October 2023, averaging almost two trips a month during the Gaza war.

The figures were obtained through a freedom of information request by the charity Action on Armed Violence (AOAV) and shared exclusively with Declassified UK.

They reveal the scale of British engagement with Israel’s armed forces during their bombardment of Gaza, which a United Nations commission of inquiry has classed as a genocide

The number of visits is four times higher than previously disclosed in Ministry of Defence (MoD) transparency logs, which showed 12 visits by senior officials. 

They included engagements by Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, General Sir James Hockenhull and Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton.

Labour’s defence secretary John Healey also travelled to Israel during the war, meeting his counterpart Yoav Gallant months before he was indicted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes.....

BBC news has a long record of disinformation. But this time it chose the wrong target

The BBC’s now in a death loop: it grows ever more craven to the billionaires, shifting the political centre of gravity further rightwards, even as the billionaire-owned media claim it’s too ‘leftwing’

The BBC is in turmoil, its director-general and head of news forced to resign after a memo leaked to the Daily Telegraph highlighted editorial malpractice at the state broadcaster’s flagship news programme Panorama. The documentary had spliced together two separate clips of Donald Trump speaking on 6 January 2021, shortly before a riot at the Capitol building in Washington. The speech’s sentiments that day may not have been much misrepresented, but its contents technically were.

But Panorama, and the BBC more generally, have been exposed peddling far worse misinformation. In those cases, there have been precisely no consequences for such out-in-the-open journalistic abuses......

White House insiders knew of 2020 Venezuela coup in advance, files show

 

Documents released by a federal court provide new and disturbing details of Trump associates’ attempt to orchestrate a coup against a government they clearly did not understand. This is an unprecedented look at the players and their plots – from terrorism to false flags – that may inform the looming US military assault on Venezuela.

The man the government blames for it all, Jordan Goudreau, provided evidence to The Grayzone that:

  • He signed a $221 million contract with Venezuela’s Juan Guaidó as the US schemed in public and in private to designate him the legitimate president of the country.
  • High-ranking Trump officials including Elliot Abrams, John Bolton, the top CIA official in Latin America, and a top NSC advisor appeared to know about his invasion plot, and may have been involved in its planning...................

How To Start War With Russia – A British Think Tank Has Ideas

Once a while the writers at RUSI, the British Ministry of Defense think tank, produce some valuable research. Mostly though they are out to push war mongering nonsense. A recent piece in Foreign Affairs by Jack Waitling is of the later kind.............

Chris Hedges: America Is a Banana Republic 

El Presidente Trump is cast in the mold of all tinpot Latin American despots who terrorize their populations, surround themselves with sycophants, goons and crooks, and enrich themselves — Trump and his family have amassed more than $1.8 billion in cash and gifts from leveraging the presidency — while erecting tawdry monuments to themselves.

“Trujillo on Earth, God in Heaven” — Trujillo en la tierra, Dios en el cielo — was posted by state order in churches during the 31-year reign of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo in the Dominican Republic. His supporters, like Trump’s, nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump’s con artist pastor, Paula White-Cain, offered an updated version of Trujillo’s self-deification when she warned, “To say no to President Trump would be saying no to God.”.....................

No, ancient Hebrew Slaves didn’t Build the Giza Pyramids

The persistent myth-making of Israelis about history has become a geopolitical danger, no less than the myth-making of Christian Zionists like current US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu alleges that the Muslim jurist or mufti, Amin al-Husseini, put Hitler up to the Holocaust, probably the most inflammatory piece of Islamophobia out there, and a complete lie.

One of the false allegations about history that won’t seem to die is that Jewish slave labor built the pyramids of Giza, which are in the news because of the magnificent new Egyptian museum built near to them. It is an allegation made prominently by Israeli Prime Minister Menahem Begin in 1977, much to the chagrin of his negotiating partner, Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat.............

Epstein Alleged in Emails That Trump Knew of His Conduct

In a message obtained by Congress, the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald J. Trump spent hours at his house with one of Mr. Epstein’s victims.

House Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that President Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of Mr. Epstein’s victims, among other messages that suggested that the convicted sex offender believed Mr. Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. .............
