The UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has announced that British intelligence will assist Israel in bringing terrorists responsible for the deaths of at least 700 people and the abduction of over 100 hostages to justice.
In an unprecedented show of support, the Prime Minister pledged steadfast support for Benjamin Netanyahu and indicated that MI6 would collaborate with Israel to track down the Hamas killers responsible for the bloodiest attack the country has witnessed in half a century.
Mr. Sunak mentioned that he had discussed providing diplomatic or security support with the Israeli Prime Minister, vowing that terrorism will not prevail.
A UK government source stated that the unprecedented offer included potential assistance in identifying threats and targets.
Downing Street expressed solidarity by illuminating the building with the Israeli flag. Mr. Sunak, who shared a picture of the display, expressed, “We stand with Israel.”
Meanwhile, the UK government is working to ascertain the status of UK citizens in Israel following the attacks, one of which saw at least one British man serving in the country’s army killed.
The Prime Minister condemned the Palestinian militants for the appalling act of terror on Israel, describing the events of the past 36 hours, which resulted in the deaths of at least 700 people, as truly horrifying.
