He will then travel to a number of regional capitals and meet with counterparts from across the Middle East. The government has not confirmed his full travel plans due to security reasons.During his meetings, the prime minister will share his condolences for those who have died in both Israel and Gaza, since Hamas - a proscribed terror group - launched an unprecedented attack in southern Israel nearly two weeks ago.
Mr Sunak's overseas trip will coincide with the foreign secretary visiting Egypt, Turkey and Qatar over the next three days. James Cleverly will use the trip to underscore the UK's messages.Ahead of his trip, Mr Sunak said: "Every civilian death is a tragedy. And too many lives have been lost following Hamas' horrific act of terror.
"And then some serious talks on the root causes of this terrible thing, which is that Israel is not safe, and the Palestinians have no safety either, they have no justice, they have no hopes, they have only misery around them."
