Since 7 October 2023, the UK has provided medical equipment, including defibrillators and emergency blankets, in response to a direct request from the Israeli Defence Force. This is in line with our approach of providing life-saving medical supplies in response to requests from other governments around the world.
The UK has a longstanding defence relationship with Israel. The Ministry of Defence is considering how best to support in line with our wider objectives to seek a political resolution to the conflict, support Israel's right to protect itself against Hamas, and ensure all parties adhere to their International Humanitarian Law obligations.
