Firstly, it does if you consider Palestinians to be victims of Hamas, which they also are.
But not everything they do will be in an initial press release.
They definitely can't help with humanitarian aid from the mid Atlantic or Devonport dockyard or anywhere else.
The vast majority of Royal Navy operations are not warfare based. I wouldnt jump to conclusions about what they will do there.
military support would "prevent further escalation".
In other words we are here to stop any other country helping Palestine
The Royal Navy are very often pretty close to the scene in these situations. As stated, there a vast array of functions they serve and it's right they have a presence nearby.
This idea they will be using force to stop any aid going to Palestine or using military force against them is simply not true.
I haven't read much about it but we must not forget that someone is supplying terrorists with weapons without which they would be limited to throwing stones, spears or petrol bombs. They are as guilty as the terrorists themselves. Despite all the security and blockades Israel seems incapable of cutting the supply routes for weapons!
The idea that the Israeli army and Israeli defence and security forces are some of the best in the world has taken a hit and hamas will be more than happy with that
According to Humans Right Watch white phosphorus has been used in Gaza.
If this is true this is mortifying.

1 million civilians also apparently told to leave Northern gaza within 24 hours.
We are about to witness a massacre.
The Royal Navy isn't there giving military assistance to the Gaza response though is it. It's not providing weapons. It's there, rightly, because this is where conflict is and there is an enormous amount of work that can and could be done to help. Aside from anything else, making Israelcm feel totally isolated is highly unlikely to make them respond more rationally.
I think people have the wrong idea about what that navy does and what it's doing here.
I think you may be right on this one. If the role of the Navy is to aid possible evacuation and attempt to prevent escalation of the conflict then that's justified.
Where I think the US and USA are entirely wrong is giving "shoulder to shoulder" support for the systematic massacre of innocents. The two countries have blood on their hands in my opinion and of course they aren't the only ones.
So why did Israel bomb Damascus and Aleppo airports? that doesn't seem to have had much mention
