‘Circle of knowledge on Middle East conflict has to be very tight’ | News | EUROtoday

Tory minister Victoria Atkins has mentioned the “circle of knowledge” on the battle within the Middle East must be “very, very tight”, as G7 leaders maintain pressing talks after Iran launched an unprecedented assault on Israel.

Rishi Sunak is predicted to affix US President Joe Biden on the decision on Sunday (14 April) amid fears of additional escalation within the occasion of a potential Israeli counter-strike.

Ms Atkins was requested whether or not the Cabinet was consulted earlier than RAF planes had been deployed to guard Israel in opposition to the Iran assault when she appeared on BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme as we speak.

She replied: “Of course, there are relevant Cabinet ministers in that (Cobra) meeting.”
