British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak arrived in Israel on Thursday to begin a two-day visit amid the deteriorating situation in the Middle East.
Sunak is expected to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog today, ahead of a tour that will bring him to other countries in the area in a diplomatic effort to avert an escalation in the Israel-Hamas war.
"The attack on al Ahli Hospital should be a watershed moment for leaders in the region and across the world to come together to avoid further dangerous escalation of conflict. I will ensure the UK is at the forefront of this effort," Sunak had stated prior to the visit.
