BICOM director Richard Pater argues Israel’s deal to release 800 Palestinian prisoners for 40 hostages may 'embolden' Hamas.

This comes after the UK has airdropped food supplies into Gaza for the first time as the Defence Secretary urged Israel to allow more aid into the war-torn territory.

The Royal Air Force parachuted more than 10 tonnes of aid, including water, rice, cooking oil, flour, tinned goods and baby formula to Gaza civilians on Monday.

An RAF A400M aircraft flew from Amman to drop the supplies along Gaza’s northern coastline as part of a Jordanian-led international aid mission, according to the Ministry of Defence.

Grant Shapps authorised the airdrop following an assessed reduction in threat to the military mission and risk to civilians.

Richard says: “Hamas sending blessings when the vote passed is a very bad sign for the international community.”
