During his two-day visit to Israel on October 19, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will meet with President Isaac Herzog and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Later, he will visit "a number of other regional capitals," according to HT.

Only on the condition that none of it would be transferred to the violent Hamas group did the Israeli authorities let humanitarian supplies into southern Gaza from Egypt.

Biden had already offered $100 million in US humanitarian assistance for Gaza and the West Bank residents.
