British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak reached the six-month mark of the Israel-Hamas conflict with a statement supporting Israel's self-defense but also calling for an end to the ongoing war in Gaza.

Sunak condemned the recent deaths of aid workers in an Israeli strike and demanded the release of hostages held by Hamas.

Under US pressure, Israel agreed to increase humanitarian aid to Gaza, amidst UK's concerns over arms sales and calls for greater transparency and accountability from Israel.

The UK is stepping in with a Royal Navy ship to deliver aid and a financial aid package of £9.7 million to Gaza.

US President Joe Biden is pushing for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to commit to an immediate ceasefire.

The conflict's impact is spreading, evidenced by Israeli strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon and attacks near Yemen, highlighting the broader regional instability.
