Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Israel had provided Britain with intelligence regarding an incident near RAF Fairford military base on Sunday, though he did not present any evidence to support his statement. In an interview with Fox News, Netanyahu remarked on what he described as the absurdity of the situation in Britain and the extent of anti-Israeli propaganda that had taken root.

He asserted that Israel had informed the British about the impending attack, which he believed was sponsored by Iran, and that the British government's subsequent sanctions against Israel were a result of this alleged "caving in" to an Islamist-Marxist alliance. Netanyahu's comments came less than a day after an Israeli minister had criticized British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood as an Islamist.
