200 days ago, Hamas carried out the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust.

200 days on, hostages remain in captivity, and their loved ones continue to face unimaginable suffering.

Today we call on Hamas again – send the hostages home.

Chag Pesach Sameach.

My message to Jewish communities here in the UK and around the world this Passover.

Passover marks the celebration of the freedom of the Jewish people from Egypt. This year, it is difficult to celebrate any holiday while there are still hostages in Gaza. At the 🇬🇧 Embassy, we keep an empty seat for the hostages, hoping that we can celebrate their return soon.

Now, more than ever, we must work together with our partners around the world to avoid further escalation in the Middle East.

This conflict is continuing because Hamas won't take the hostage deal.

UK and German Foreign Secretaries visited Israel yesterday, hear their updates 👇

Iran’s attack on a sovereign state was dangerous and reckless.

Co-ordinated with the USA, we are sanctioning leading Iranian military figures and entities involved in the attacks against Israel and tightening the net on key actors within Iran’s drones and missile industries.

I visited Israel to show solidarity following Iran’s appalling attack.

Any response must do as little to escalate this conflict as possible.

As I said to PM Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו and @Israel_Katz today, we must maintain our focus on getting more aid into Gaza and getting hostages out.

Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron, who is in Israel for talks with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, says the situation in the Middle East is 'very concerning', and that Britain wants to see co-ordinated sanctions against Iran.

Thank you for both the UK and Germany’s strong stand alongside Israel in the face of the reprehensible attack by Iran. The…

Earlier today I spoke to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו and reiterated our support for Israel’s security following Iran’s reckless attack at the weekend.

Further significant escalation will only deepen instability in the region.

This is a moment for calm heads to prevail.

Today I formally condemned in the strongest terms Iran’s attack on Israel in a call with Iranian Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian.

I made clear that Iran must stop these reckless attacks, de-escalate and release the MSC Aries.

Iran’s attack last night was a dangerous and unnecessary escalation.

I want to pay tribute to the professionalism and bravery of the Royal Air Force and our allies in protecting civilians.
