“The U.K. continues to work with international partners to support the Gaza ceasefire to see where the U.K. can best contribute to the peace process,” the spokesperson added.
The British deputy commander will lead work to decide what further contribution Britain can make, according to defense officials.
Keir Starmer’s government has been keen to support the implementation of Trump’s 20-point peace plan, which has been tested in the last week by violence carried out on both sides.
Israel said a Hamas attack killed two soldiers on Sunday. Israel responded with air strikes, which killed dozens of Palestinians.
US Vice President JD Vance, nonetheless, insisted the agreement was “going better than expected” on a visit to Israel, aimed at maintaining momentum towards talks on the second phase of Trump’s plan.
Keir Starmer has argued that the U.K. can play a key role in efforts to stabilize Gaza, both by contributing to the monitoring process and advising on the decommissioning of Hamas’s weapons, drawing on experience in Northern Ireland.
There are no plans to send British troops into Gaza, however, and officers are not being sent into a combat zone.
