MEZIESBLOG brings you a bit more on Benny Gantz’ visit to the UK.
The Israeli war cabinet minister met with Rishi Sunak, Lord David Cameron and national security adviser Tim Barrow, an Israeli government handout read.
“Minister Gantz firstly, and most importantly, thanked the UK for their efforts until now and stressed the importance of continued international pressure on Hamas to secure the release of the hostages,” it added.
It added that Mr Gantz stressed to the British that “Israel will allow a humanitarian solution aiding the people of Gaza that doesn’t maintain Hamas’ control”.
He stressed such a solution must enable “the completion of this war’s just and necessary objectives of dismantling Hamas, in full compliance with international law”.
Mr Gantz also discussed the ongoing Houthi attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden – where British naval and air force units are operating as part of an international taskforce.
“He added further his appreciation for the UK’s important role in mitigating the threat the Iranian axis of terror poses in the Red Sea and the region entirely, not only to the Middle East’s security but the stability of the whole world,” the readout said.
