Senior spies have informed MPs that extremist 'chatter' has reached its highest level since the 9/11 attacks due to the ongoing war in Gaza, marking Britain's terror threat at its highest level since 9/11. This heightened activity is attributed to extremists using the conflict as a springboard for recruitment, with the UK's terror threat level now at its most critical since September 11, 2001. Major General Chip Chapman and former NATO commander Dr. Chris Parry highlighted the increased risk of hate crimes and extremism, though not necessarily translating into terrorism. General Sir Richard Barrons and other security experts have warned that the situation is particularly precarious as the month of Ramadan approaches, with the Israel-Gaza conflict seen as a significant factor in radicalizing individuals on both sides. Additionally, UK tourists are advised to exercise caution when traveling to Tenerife, Turkey, and Japan due to the heightened threat, with terrorist attacks being 'very likely'.

"Government needs to speak plainly and boldly to call out some of these problems." Politicians and police need to tackle "a rise of real anger and frustration" as tensions rise over Gaza, @ColinBloom tells #TimesRadio. @KateEMcCann | @AdamBoultonTABB https://t.co/CgQfAMHfH1
