UK Stands by Israel's Right to Self-Defense Amid Calls for Humanitarian Aid in Gaza

Published: 07 April 2024 at 03:07

Six months after the Israel-Gaza war, the UK remains supportive of Israel's self-defense but urges a humanitarian pause for aid delivery. The UK is deploying a Royal Navy ship to assist in aid delivery, pledging £9.7m for aid efforts. Foreign Secretary stresses that UK's support is conditional on Israel abiding by international humanitarian law. Despite casualties and ongoing conflict, efforts are being made to provide aid and achieve a sustainable ceasefire in Gaza.
