Rishi Sunak said he wanted Israel to win its war with the Gaza-based group but called for regional powers to avoid the conflict spilling over.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak urged Saudi Arabia to support stability in the Middle East as Israel geared up for a “long war” with Hamas.
The Prime Minister earlier had meetings with Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and president Isaac Herzog. Israel defence minister Yoav Gallant has told ground troops on the Gaza border to “be ready” to enter the Occupied Palestinian Territory, but he did not say when the invasion would start.
The PA news agency understands that one of the Britons was Yonatan Rapoport, who was killed when Hamas gunmen rampaged through a kibbutz.I support your work to secure the release of hostages, to strengthen your security and to end the threat from Hamas.He had two children, Yosefi and Aluma, and, as a Manchester United fan, had planned to take his son to Old Trafford next month for his first game, the BBC reported.
It marks a potential break in a punishing and highly controversial siege on the territory after Israel’s retaliation on Hamas saw it block access for water, food, electricity and other essential supplies to the 25-mile strip, while also carrying out strikes. Many among Gaza’s 2.3 million residents have cut down to one meal a day and have been left to drink dirty water amid dwindling supplies.
