UK concerned about potential Israeli attacks

In a statement on his X account, Cameron said, "I am deeply concerned about the prospect of a military offensive in Rafah, where half of Gaza's population is sheltering."

Cameron also noted that the priority is to work toward an immediate humanitarian pause to allow aid into the region, secure the release of hostages, and achieve a sustainable, permanent ceasefire.

A spokesperson for the UK Foreign Office, responding to a question on the matter, had stated, "We are deeply concerned about the prospect of a military offensive in Rafah, where half of Gaza's population is sheltering and which is home to the Rafah border crossing, which is vital for getting aid to those in need."

WORK MUST BE DONE FOR A PERMANENT CEASEFIRE

The spokesperson had noted that the priority in Gaza should be an immediate humanitarian pause in the fighting, the entry of aid into the region, the release of hostages, and working toward a sustainable, permanent ceasefire.

Addressing Israel, the spokesperson said, "Too many civilians have lost their lives in this conflict. All parties must respect international humanitarian law. We want Israel to limit its operations to military targets and to take greater care to avoid harming civilians and destroying homes."
