James Cleverly stressed British backing for Israel on Sunday, declining to say whether the Government is concerned that some of the actions in Gaza amount to breaches of international law.
The United Nations, senior EU figures and aid agencies have all expressed alarm as many Palestinians struggle to flee ahead of a “coordinated” offensive in the Gaza Strip involving air, ground and naval forces.
It comes as civilians continue to suffer under a total siege imposed by Israel in the wake of last weekend’s unprecedented incursion by Hamas militants.
Mr Cleverly, who visited southern Israel this week, urged the country’s leaders to show restraint and discipline as the conflict escalates.
