UK supports Israel’s right to ‘proportionate action’ to end violence

The UK supports Israel’s right to use proportionate action to end violence, according to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s spokesman. They stated that Israel can exercise self-defense within international laws. There are no current plans to deploy British military assets, but there is a warship in the Mediterranean and an air force base in Cyprus. The UK Foreign Office is working with Israeli authorities to determine the status of British nationals in the area.
