Hamas wants a "wider Arab-Israeli war", Foreign Secretary James Cleverly has warned as he insists "every effort" is being made to help British nationals. Speaking to LBC, Mr Cleverly said the main priority was preventing a wider conflict and protecting Brits in both Israel and Gaza.He said the usual assistance the UK would provide is not necessary for Israel as it is "modern and highly capable".
"They may not all want to leave - although many of them will - some of them will regard Gaza as their permanent home just as there are many British dual nationals in Israel who regard Israel as their permanent home. "They may be serving the Israeli Defence Force, they may be living in other elements of Israeli society and they will not necessarily want to leave." Mr Cleverly was one of the first foreign ministers to visit Israel this week to show solidarity.
