LONDON, Oct 15 — Britain remains supportive of Israel’s right to defend itself but has urged it to show restraint in any military action against Palestinian militant group Hamas in order to minimise harm to civilians, foreign minister James Cleverly said.
Speaking to the media today, Cleverly said he had raised the need to minimise civilian casualties in conversations with the Israeli government.
“Restraint, discipline - these are the hallmarks of the Israeli defence force that I want to see,” Cleverly told Sky News.
“Of course, we respect Israel’s right to self-defence ... We’ve said do everything you can to minimise civilian casualties. Do everything you can to prevent Hamas getting what they want, which is this to escalate into a wider regional conflict.”
