People Supporting Hamas in UK Will Be ‘Held to Account’, Says Rishi Sunak

GUARDIAN INTERNATIONAL: PM also says government is ready to support any British citizens in need of help after attacks on Israel

Rishi Sunak has vowed that anyone in the UK supporting Hamas will be “held to account” in the aftermath of the attack on Israel.

The prime minister said the government was ready to support any British citizens in need of help, during a visit in Staffordshire on Tuesday.

A “significant number” of British-Israeli dual nationals have been caught up in the conflict in Israel and Gaza, the foreign secretary, James Cleverly, said earlier.

Sunak confirmed his support for Israel, saying he stood in solidarity with the state and its people “in the face of these barbaric acts of terrorism”. » | Aubrey Allegretti, Political correspondent | Tuesday, October 10, 2023
