The Prime Minister Tells Benjamin Netanyahu Far Too Many Have Lost Their Lives
02/04/2024
Downing Street says PM spoke to Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu this evening.
Rishi Sunak said far too many aid workers and ordinary civilians have lost their lives in Gaza during a conversation with Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A Downing Street spokesperson said: “The Prime Minister spoke to Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu this evening.
“He said he was appalled by the killing of aid workers, including three British nationals, in an air strike in Gaza yesterday and demanded a thorough and transparent independent investigation into what happened.
“The Prime Minister said far too many aid workers and ordinary civilians have lost their lives in Gaza and the situation is increasingly intolerable.
“The UK expects to see immediate action by Israel to end restrictions on humanitarian aid, deconflict with the UN and aid agencies, protect civilians and repair vital infrastructure like hospitals and water networks.
“The Prime Minister reiterated that Israel’s rightful aim of defeating Hamas would not be achieved by allowing a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.”
