British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly traveled to Israel on Wednesday to demonstrate the UK's unwavering solidarity with Israel after deadly attacks by Hamas. Cleverly will be meeting attack survivors and Israeli leaders to outline Britain's support for Israel's right to self-defense. The visit comes as Israel bombs Gaza ahead of a potential ground operation against Hamas, which launched surprise attacks in Israel over the weekend that killed hundreds. Along with Western allies, the UK has expressed steadfast backing of Israel and condemned Hamas amid the escalating violence. Earlier the BBC reported seventeen British nationals including children were dead or missing in Israel.
