Lord David Cameron has outlined what he called a “tough but necessary” discussion with Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz in London today.
“I made clear the steps Israel must take to increase aid into Gaza, and the UK’s deep concern about the prospect of a military offensive in Rafah,” Lord Cameron said.
“These are tough but necessary conversations,” he added.
Lord Cameron said yesterday he would tell Mr Gantz that patience was running thin over the “dreadful suffering” in Gaza.
Mr Gantz reportedly earned the fury of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by embarking on a tour of Israeli allies, including the UK and US, without his permission.
Cameron ‘appalled’ to hear of deaths after Houthi attack
More from the foreign secretary now.
Lord David Cameron says he is “appalled” to hear of the deaths of two crew members after a Houthi attack in the Gulf of Aden earlier today.
“We condemn the Houthis’ reckless and indiscriminate attacks on global shipping & demand they stop,” he said.
“We will continue to stand up for freedom of navigation and back our words with actions.”
