UK ministers will hold an emergency COBRA meeting today amid fears that the Israel-Gaza conflict has “accelerated” the threat of terrorism in Britain. Such meetings are called in response to national or regional crises, or during overseas events with major implications for the UK.
The meeting will take place after Britain’s most senior police officer warned that events in the Middle East were having a serious knock-on effect in Britain.
Sir Mark Rowley.
The COBRA meeting comes as the Israeli military continues its offensive in Gaza, which has so far killed more than 1,000 Palestinians.
