Sunak told MPs in a statement that the UK supported Israel’s right to “defend itself and deter further incursions”. He added of its response: “As a friend we will continue to call on Israel to take every possible precaution to avoid harming civilians.”Keir Starmer said “responsibility for this crisis lies with Hamas”, branding the militant group “destroyers of lives, of hopes, of peace”.The Labour leader said Israel’s actions in Gaza must not break international law. “Civilians must not be targeted. Innocent lives must be protected,” he said.
