SUNAK FOLLOWS BIDEN TO CONDEMN GAZA BOMBINGS
Jerusalem: Rishi Sunak has pledged to stand with Israel in its “darkest hour,” adding he wanted the country to “win” its war with Hamas. Speaking after a meeting with Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday, the PM said the Palestinian people were “victims of Hamas too”. He repeated the UK supported Israel’s right to self-defence, in line with international law. Netanyahu said Israel needed “continual support” for a “long war”. The meeting between the two leaders is part of a two-day visit by Sunak to the wider region. He had confirmed he will visit Saudi Arabia later on Thursday, among trips to regional capitals. Calling the Palestinian militant group the “new Nazis,” the Israeli PM called the conflict with Hamas a “battle of the entire civilised world”.
