Sunak Informs Netanyahu that Escalation in the Middle East is Not in Anyone's Interest

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak emphasized to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that "escalation in the Middle East is not in anyone's interest and will only exacerbate insecurity in the region." This was during a phone call following Britain's assistance to Israel in repelling a direct Iranian aerial attack on Saturday. Sunak's office stated in a press release, "This is a moment that should be characterized by calm."
