Britain's Prime Minister expresses 'solidarity' with Israel after 'barbaric' Hamas attack

Speaking to Israel's President Isaac Herzog in Jerusalem, Britain's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says "we will stand with you in solidarity with your people".

Sunak is the latest western leader to meet with Israeli leaders after more than 1,400 people -- mostly civilians -- were killed in a bloody Hamas attack on October 7.

In response, the Israeli forces have conducted a sustained campaign of air raids on Gaza, with the enclave's Hamas-controlled health ministry reporting around 3,500 casualties as a result.
