Foreign Minister Israel Katz tweets ahead of his meeting with British Foreign Secretary David Cameron that he will stress that Israel is fighting a war of necessity against Hamas and the Iranian axis.

“We will not stop until the release of all our hostages and the dismantling of Hamas’s military and civil capabilities – in Gaza and in every place,” he continues.

Cameron will be meeting Katz, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, War Cabinet minister Benny Gantz, and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
