Rishi Sunak arrives in Israel after warning against ‘dangerous escalation’
SKY News says Rishi Sunak has arrived in Israel, commencing a two-day trip to the wider region amid growing concerns the conflict with Hamas could escalate.
The prime minister will hold a meeting with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog, before travelling to a number of other regional capitals in a diplomatic bid to prevent fighting from spiralling.
Downing Street did not specify exactly where the prime minister would go after Israel, but said he would be meeting counterparts “from across the Middle East”.
