Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared, "the Western world stood with you 80 years ago during your darkest hour, this is our darkest hour," during a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

The British PM replied that "In the last two weeks, this country has gone through what no country should go through. We fully support Israel's right to defend itself, I know that you are taking extra care and trying to reduce harm to civilians."
