The United Kingdom has said that it is clear that Israel is “making a decision to act.”

He spoke following Iran’s missile and drone attacks launched toward Israel on Saturday which were intercepted and neutralised with the help of the UK, the US, France and Jordan.

According to Reuters, the Foreign Secretary, who spoke with reporters in Israel, also said that the UK wanted to see new sanctions on Iran, saying “They need to be given a clear unequivocal message by the G7.”

Cameron said, “It’s clear the Israelis are making a decision to act,” and that “We hope they do so in a way that does as little to escalate this as possible.”

He said he was in Jerusalem to “show solidarity after that appalling attack by Iran”, saying:

“It’s right to have made our views clear about what should happen next, but it’s clear the Israelis are making a decision to act.

“We hope they do so in a way that does as little to escalate this as possible. And in a way that, as I said yesterday, is smart as well as tough.

“But the real need is to refocus back on Hamas, back on the hostages, back on getting the aid in, back on getting a pause in the conflict in Gaza.”

While in Israel Cameron is expected to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders, as well as visit the occupied West Bank.
