Britain’s defence secretary, John Healey, walked through oncoming traffic to escape questions about why the UK is still sharing military intelligence with Israel.
Healey told Declassified he had “nothing more to add” about the hundreds of Royal Air Force (RAF) surveillance flights over Gaza.
The flights have continued despite Keir Starmer’s government placing sanctions on two far-right Israeli ministers whose roles include national security and defence.
Healey was questioned about the flights after leaving a cabinet meeting in Downing Street yesterday.
Flanked by two security guards, he narrowly avoided a lorry as he hurried across Whitehall towards his office in the Ministry of Defence.
When first asked about the RAF’s spy flights, the defence secretary responded by simply saying “good morning”.
