British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak landed in Israel on Thursday amid the war between the Jewish state and the Hamas terrorist group in the Gaza Strip.
“I am in Israel, a nation in grief,” Sunak said upon arrival. “I grieve with you and stand with you against the evil that is terrorism.”“You have suffered something unspeakable, a barbaric act of terrorism, as you said, we should call it what it is: An act of terrorism perpetrated by an evil terrorist organization, Hamas,” Sunak told Herzog.
“The moment calls for us to understand who is our friend, who is with us,” continued Herzog. “And you’ve been with us from the first moment, we are extremely grateful … for your support and your decisions and your leadership in this respect, and we welcome you with an open heart.”The British leader is slated to travel to other regional countries in a bid to prevent the fighting from spiraling into a broader war, according to his office.
“According to our intelligence, Hamas checked the reports, understood it was an Islamic Jihad rocket that had misfired—and decided to launch a global media campaign to hide what really happened,” explained IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari. “To the people of Israel, your courage and commitment is stunning. I’m proud to be here,” the American president said.
