THE Prime Minister has branded Hamas’s attacks on Israel a “pogrom” as he told MPs at least six Britons had been killed in the fighting while announcing the UK would boost aid to Palestine.
He said eight flights so far have brought back 500 British nationals from Israel, with more leaving in the coming hours.Addressing the British Jewish community, Sunak said: “We stand with you now and always. This atrocity was an existential strike at the very idea of Israel as a safe homeland for the Jewish people.”
He said the UK would continue to press Israel to “take every possible precaution to avoid harming civilians”, with more than 2,750 Palestinians reported to have been killed and 9,700 wounded since the fighting erupted. However, expectations in Government for opening the crossing were understood to be very low on Monday.
“I think you have to be clear that international law allows Israel to prosecute a mission that is legal, proportionate and necessary, and that, I’m afraid, does not necessarily mean that Israel has to be able to guarantee that there will be no civilian loss of life,” he told ITV’s Good Morning Britain.
