The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will publish the rules of engagement for British service personnel deployed to Israel to monitor the ceasefire in Gaza.

Answered by Al Carns

A small team of UK planning officers, led by a 2* deputy commander, have embedded in the US-led Civil Military Coordination Centre (CMCC) in Israel to ensure that the UK remains integrated into the US-led planning efforts for Gaza post-conflict stability. This team is not monitoring the ceasefire in Gaza. The UK continues to work with international partners to support the Gaza ceasefire to see where the UK can best contribute to the peace process.
