United Kingdom Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has arrived in Israel where he is expected to press for humanitarian aid to be delivered to Gaza as soon as possible.
His visit comes right after President Biden’s as world leaders step up efforts to prevent the conflict with Hamas spilling into the wider region.
Sunak is due to meet Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu today before visiting other regional capitals.
Meanwhile, Foreign Secretary James Cleverly will meet leaders in Egypt, Turkey and Qatar in the coming days to seek support for a peaceful resolution in Israel and Gaza.
The foreign secretary will push for an agreement on humanitarian access to Gaza, and the release of British hostages held by Hamas.
