In a Commons statement after his trip last week to Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, the prime minister stressed the UK's support for Israel but also warned against actions that could undermine an eventual two-state solution, including a viable Palestine.
Sunak said that based on intelligence and weapons analysis, the government "judges that the explosion was likely caused by a missile or part of one that was launched from within Gaza towards Israel".
He criticised some media outlets for initially reporting that the blast appeared to have been caused by Israel, saying this "had a negative effect in the region, including on a vital US diplomatic effort and on tensions here at home".
Sunak also stressed the need for a two-state solution and said the UK would provide £20m in aid to Gaza.
While saying there was "no scenario" in which Hamas could be allowed to control part or all of a Palestinian state, Sunak said the idea of two viable states had to be sustained.
