These groups represent a danger to global security such as through attacks on international shipping. The UK works closely with several nations in the Middle East, including Israel, to defend our strategic interests in the region from these malign actors. We have also deployed additional military assets to the Eastern Mediterranean and East of Suez to deter attacks on international shipping, reinforce regional stability and prevent escalation.</p> answering member constituency Wells answering member printed James Heappey question first answered 20/12/2023 15:28:49 answering member 4528 label Biography information for James Heappey
