British Foreign Secretary David Lammy is scheduled to land in Israel shortly ahead of meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem and top Palestinian Authority officials in Ramallah.
He will push for continued negotiations for a hostage deal with Hamas, and will warn against escalation in Lebanon, a British official tells The Times of Israel.
Tomorrow, Lammy will meet with Foreign Minister Israel Katz and President Isaac Herzog, and will visit the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial.
