This is the best summary I could come up with:
The UK will send surveillance aircraft and two Royal Navy ships to the eastern Mediterranean in plans “to support Israel", No 10 says.
The aircraft will begin patrols tomorrow to “track threats to regional stability such as the transfer of weapons to terrorist groups”.
The British armed forces will be on standby to “deliver practical support to Israel and partners in the region, and offer deterrence and assurance”, Downing Street said.
Under the plans, a Royal Navy task group will be moved to the area next week to support humanitarian efforts.
“Our military and diplomatic teams across the region will also support international partners to re-establish security and ensure humanitarian aid reaches the thousands of innocent victims of this barbaric attack from Hamas terrorists,” Mr Sunak said.
Defence Secretary Grant Shapps said the military aid “will be an undeniable display of the UK’s resolve to ensure Hamas’s terrorist campaign fails”.
