Amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, United Kingdom PM Sunak landed in Tel Aviv earlier on Thursday.

Sunak also visited the families of those who were killed or being held hostage by the Hamas militants. “To have a child taken from you is a parent’s worst nightmare. This morning I heard from families going through this unbearable agony. Working with our partners, we’re determined to secure the release of the hostages taken by Hamas terrorists,” he said in a post on X.
