My Prime Minister has conveyed my country’s deepest condolences to the families of the civilians killed, particularly those who lost children. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the cycle of violence, has taken too many lives.

As he made clear, the recent escalation underlines the urgent need to make progress towards a more positive future and to address the drivers of conflict.
