In a statement released before departing the UK, Sunak also said, "The death of every civilian is a tragedy," and pointed out, "Too many lives have been lost due to Hamas's horrific terrorist acts."

On the same day, Sunak is scheduled to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Yitzhak Herzog to express condolences and solidarity over Hamas's attack.
