US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly yesterday to discuss the Gaza war, the US State Department says.
The two “affirmed Israel’s right to self-defense, discussed their engagement with regional partners to prevent the spread of the conflict and secure the release of hostages,” the US readout says.
“They reiterated the need to ensure sustained delivery of humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza,” it adds.
