British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Saturday condemned Palestinian militants for launching an attack against Israel on Saturday morning.
He expressed shock over the offensive and reaffirmed Israel's " "absolute right" to defend itself. "Israel has an absolute right to defend itself. We're in contact with Israeli authorities, and British nationals in Israel should follow travel advice," Sunak stated.
At least 40 Israelis are said to have lost their lives since the conflict escalated.
