British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak promised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Britain would stand by Israel in "its darkest hour" as he welcomed the decision to allow aid into Gaza and said Israel was doing all it could to limit civilian deaths.
"I know that you are taking every precaution to avoid harming civilians in direct contrast to the terrorists of Hamas which seeks to put civilians in harm's way," Sunak said alongside Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Thursday.
Netanyahu said that the attack on Israel by Hamas gunmen on October 7 aimed to prevent the expansion of its peaceful relations in the Middle East, and asked Britain to keep supporting the Gaza counter-offensive.
"We were on the cusp of expanding that peace, and destroying that move was one of the reasons why this action was taken," Netanyahu told Sunak.
Sunak held talks with Israeli President Isaac Herzog earlier in the day. And he will head to Saudi Arabia later on Thursday where he will meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, his spokesperson said.
