It has been revealed that the UK and the US are carrying out support operations against Israel using British bases in the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus. According to research by the British Declassified UK, military cargo planes flying from the UK’s Akrotiri Air Base frequently fly to provide weapons and intelligence support to Israel.
UK Manages Operations from the Island
The UK is deploying special forces personnel using Akrotiri Base to support Israel’s attacks on Gaza. In addition, the UK is notable for modernizing Akrotiri and increasing its military presence. British sovereign bases play a strategic role in operations in the Middle East.
Intelligence Support from the US
The US is also alleged to be using UK bases for operations in the region. It is stated that the US is conducting surveillance missions in Gaza via Akrotiri and sharing intelligence with Israel. It is also among the claims that Akrotiri is used for espionage activities.
Cyprus Becomes Center of Israeli Support Operations
Cyprus has become the center of support operations for the United States and other Western countries in Israel’s operations against Gaza. The island is in a strategic position, especially for military operations teams, which closely follow developments in the region.
Contributions from Other Western Countries
Germany and the Netherlands have also deployed their special forces to Cyprus to support Israel. France has signed a military cooperation agreement with the Greek Cypriot Administration, giving it the right to conduct operations in the Greek Cypriot side. This situation raises security concerns in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Support for Israel through Agreements
The Greek Cypriot Administration’s natural gas exploration activities in the Eastern Mediterranean are supported through agreements with Israel. However, some circles claim that these agreements negatively affect the situation in Palestine and support genocide. This threatens stability in the region.
