British Defense Minister Grant Shapps will pay a visit to Israel and the West Bank. His office stated that Shapps will take advantage of the visit to act to speed up the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and allow its entry by sea.
Earlier this week Shapps revealed that Britain is considering sending a ship from the British Navy near the shores of Gaza to provide medical and humanitarian aid to the residents of the Gaza Strip.
During his visit, the British Defense Minister is expected to meet with Defense Minister Yoav Galant and the Foreign Minister of the Palestinian Authority.
