Скачать или смотреть Protestors form red line around UK RAF Base

Hundreds of activists formed a red line outside the UK’s RAF High Wycombe, chanting “RAF, shame on you”.

The group said the protest was part of its summer of action for Gaza and showed "the strength of the public demand for an arms embargo on Israel".

Earlier this month, the UK government sources confirmed that Britain continues to fly spy planes over Gaza and share intelligence with Israel, according to The Times.

Despite escalating diplomatic tensions between the UK and Israel, the UK has continued to assist the Israeli military.

For months, British politicians have questioned the government about the role played by a Royal Air Force base on the island of Cyprus, RAF Akrotiri, just a 40-minute flight from Tel Aviv.

From there, RAF aircraft have conducted hundreds of surveillance flights over Gaza throughout Israel's war on the besieged enclave.
