Denmark is afraid of escalation of conflict in Israel and sent a military frigate to the Mediterranean
"The situation from the Middle East is now unpredictable. Therefore, the government has decided to transfer the Niels Juel frigate into the Eastern Mediterranean," said Defense Minister Trols Lund Pulzen. The Defense Ministry stated that the frigate would not swim east of Cyprus, which has the sea border from Israel, and is as part of NATO NATO. "If the situation in the Middle East is developing and further evacuation efforts are needed, we can now respond faster," the Ministry's head said.
The Niels Juel frigate is usually stationed as part of the NATO first permanent maritime group. He was launched on December 22, 2010 and joined the country's fleet in August 2014. On October 8, the Pentagon ordered the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier, the Ticonderoga USS Normandy Class Class and several US destroyers to the Eastern Mediterranean.
On October 11, the US Presidential Administration confirmed that the second American aircraft carrier Dwight Eisenhower is transferred to the Mediterranean. On October 13, the British government stated that it was sending two ships of the royal fleet, patrols and reconnaissance planes, surveillance means, as well as three Merlin and Royal Marines' mouths into the Mediterranean. All of them will be in standby for practical support for Israel and partners in the region.
" On October 14, it was reported that the United States could send a unit of the Marines to Israel to strengthen its troops. Journalists noted that the unit that is currently on board the landing ship of the USS Bataan consists of more than 2000 marines and sailors. On October 15, US President Assistant Jake Sullivan said Washington will allow Tehran to try somehow to interfere with Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
According to him, "there is a risk of escalation of this conflict, the opening of the second front in the north and, of course, the intervention of Iran. " Sullivan added that the US "needs to prepare for any possible development. " And this explains the transfer of aircraft carriers to the Mediterranean. We remind you that Focus wrote that the authorities of Israel suggested urgently evacuated to the residents of Gaza.
In order not to suffer from the anti -terrorist operation, at least one million citizens must leave. Meanwhile, the death toll continues to grow. As of October 13, 1,300 people were killed in Israel, most of whom were victims of terrorist attacks committed by Hamas on October 7-8. According to the tank, this amount includes 222 servicemen who have died since then.
In addition, Focus reported that the Israeli Foreign Intelligence Service of Mossad suggested that the authorities prohibit the activities of Al Jazeera. The reason for this appeal is the Media Headquarters in Qatar, which supports Hamas fighters from the Gaza Sector. Meanwhile, Reuters reported that the ceasefire regime was temporarily imposed on the places where the refugees were located. However, the authorities of Israel denied that the truce was declared.
