LONDON – Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the whole of the UK is shocked by the bloodshed in the Gaza Strip, and appalled by the killing of brave British heroes who were bringing food to those in need.
In a statement, he said this terrible conflict must end. “The hostages must be released. The aid – which we have been straining every sinew to deliver by land, air and sea – must be flooded in.
The children of Gaza need a humanitarian pause immediately, leading to a long-term sustainable ceasefire. That is the fastest way to get hostages out and aid in, and to stop the fighting and loss of life.
For the good of both Israelis and Palestinians – who all deserve to live in peace, dignity and security – that is what we will keep working to achieve.”
