Cameron: Britain Does Not Provide "Unconditional" Support for Israel

British Foreign Secretary David Cameron stated in a newspaper article on Sunday that Britain's support for Israel depends on its commitment to international humanitarian law, following an Israeli airstrike that resulted in the deaths of seven aid workers, including three Britons. Cameron wrote in the Sunday Times: "We do not provide unconditional support... We expect a successful democratic country to adhere to international humanitarian law, even when facing challenges." He warned of the risk of mass starvation unless Israel allows more aid to enter. Britain announced yesterday that it will contribute a naval ship to assist in shipping aid as part of an international effort. In a statement released on Sunday, coinciding with the six-month mark since Hamas's attack, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak reiterated his call for the group to release Israeli hostages and for an immediate end to hostilities. He emphasized, "We continue to stand by Israel's right to eliminate the threat posed by Hamas terrorists... but the entire United Kingdom is shocked by the bloodshed and horrified by the deaths of the brave British heroes who were providing food to those in need."
