British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that he will chair a meeting of the government's emergency committee (Cobra) to discuss the crisis in Israel later today, Monday. A spokesperson for the British Prime Minister confirmed that Britain supports Israel's right to take proportional actions within international law to end the violence. The spokesperson told reporters, "We support Israel's right to defend itself and take proportional action to end the violence. In such situations, they can take proportional action while acting under international laws." This comment came in response to the Israeli retaliation following a surprise attack by the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) on Saturday.
