UK Foreign Secretary, David Cameron was taken to Kibbutz Be’eri, where hundreds of people were killed and abducted by Hamas, on his first visit to Israel.
He joined Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen and walked through the fire-damaged buildings on the Kibbutz as part of a wider trip to the Middle East, and comes as a temporary truce between Israel and Hamas looms.
Lord Cameron welcomed the agreement to a four-day pause in fighting in exchange for the release of hostages, calling it a crucial step and urging the parties to deliver the deal in full.
UK had constantly promised to align with Israel in its decision to defend itself but insisted humanitarian rules must be applied to reduce death toll and unnecessary bloodshed.
Meanwhile, Israel Prime Minister, Benjamin Nethanyahu had insisted that the war will continue until the enemy is vanquished.
