Israel is making a decision to act against Iran, following last weekend’s retaliatory attack, the British foreign secretary said Wednesday.
Speaking in Tel Aviv, where he is paying a visit, David Cameron said he hoped “they do so in a way that does as little to escalate this as possible.”
Cameron said he was in Israel to show solidarity after that “appalling attack by Iran.”
“We made clear our views yesterday about what should happen next but we also said Israel is an independent sovereign country and gets to make these choices,” he added.
He said: “But I’m also here to focus back the eyes of the world onto the hostage situation. 192 days those people have been held, Hamas should release them now and there is a good deal for them on the table.
“The only reason the conflict continues in Gaza is because they won’t take that deal. We need the hostages out we need the aid in and I’ll be discussing that with the Israeli government and with the Palestinian Authority as well.”
Cameron said, “It’s clear that 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, is smart as well as tough, but the real need is to refocus back on Hamas, back on the hostages.”
Cameron said he would talk to the Israeli government to talk to the Palestinian Authority to “try and push those things forward.”
He also said the UK wants to see “coordinated sanctions against Iran,” and “they need to be given a clear unequivocal message by the G7.”
