King Abdullah has embarked on a European tour to “rally international support to stop the war on Gaza”, his office said.
Rishi Sunak is meeting King Abdullah of Jordan amid growing concern about the fate of Palestinians in Gaza as an Israeli invasion looms. The King has embarked on a European tour to “rally international support to stop the war on Gaza”, his office said, with stops also expected in Italy, Germany and France.
The expected assault by Israel comes more than a week after Hamas militants launched a deadly assault on the country. Foreign Secretary James Cleverly earlier stressed British backing for Israel while also urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the country’s military to show restraint and discipline.
“Friends speak honestly with friends and we have a very, very good working relationship with the Israeli government, and whenever I have spoken to them I have reinforced the UK’s position about the preservation of life, the avoidance of civilian casualties. The United Nations, senior EU figures and aid agencies have all expressed alarm as many Palestinians struggle to flee ahead of a “co-ordinated” offensive in the Gaza Strip involving air, ground and naval forces.
