Breaking: RAF refuelling plane was circling over Doha during Israeli terror attack

The RAF sending a refuelling plane to Doha is active collaboration in an act of war on the sovereign territory of a nation hosting peace talks

This afternoon Israel committed yet another terrorist atrocity when it bombed the building hosting Gaza’s peace negotiators in Doha, Qatar. Doha – RAF refuelling plane was circling

Now, flight tracker data shows that an RAF refuelling aircraft was circling overhead as Israel was bombing Doha:

The distance from Israel to Doha is approximately 2,200km – around the same as the total range of the F35 strike aircraft used by Israel – meaning that the jets would need in-flight refuelling to return to Israel.

Questions were raised – and not yet answered by the Starmer regime – about the RAF’s involvement in the murder of six journalists bombed by Israel in Gaza, after similar tracking showed an RAF plane circling over the attack location.

This new data raises the same possibility that the Starmer regime has gone beyond political cover, spy flights and a lawfare war on UK rights of protest and free speech in it’s collusion in Israel’s genocide – into active collaboration in an act of war on the sovereign territory of a nation hosting supposed peace talks.

    I’m so tired of seeing the Canary push this conspiracy theory.

    The UK and Israel use completely different (i.e. incompatible) fuelling systems.

    This is likely a routine training flight with the Qatari air force, something we do frequently.

    E: I was correct:

    A British Royal Air Force (RAF) plane spotted over Doha on Monday, around the time of Israel’s surprise strike on the Qatari capital, was participating in an annual joint military exercise and not involved in the attack, according to flight tracker data.

    The RAF Voyager KC3 tanker was conducting air-to-air refuelling drills as part of “Soaring Falcon”, a regular UK-Qatar exercise, when Israeli fighter jets targeted a meeting of senior Hamas officials in Doha.

    Can the UK ever do anything right in The Canary’s eyes? The UK is helping the country that Israel carried out an attack on, and still gets accused of helping Israel.

      Wait, is this something the Canary has said before? During the Israeli attacks on Iran or something?

        They talked of the refueling planes that Palestine Action destroyed the engines of as if they were used to refuel Israeli jets, which was never the case. It was debunked ages ago that the RAF refuel Israeli jets, but they’re continuing to say it nonetheless, because they know there’s no real repercussions to lying.

        Same crap the daily mail, express, etc do.

        I’m not certain if they mentioned it in regards to Israel’s Iran strikes
