Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will urge Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu to show restraint in response to Iran’s missile and drone barrage amid concerns the Middle East crisis could spiral out of control.
The Royal Air Force joined allies in defending Israel, with British jets shooting down a number of Iranian attack drones.
Mr Netanyahu is considering how to respond to Tehran, with the US and UK urging calm.
In a Commons statement, Mr Sunak said he would be speaking “shortly” to Mr Netanyahu “to express our solidarity with Israel in the face of this attack and to discuss how we can prevent further escalation”.
