The 5 leaders said they recognise the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people, and support equal measures of justice and freedom for Israelis and Palestinians alike

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak spoke to the leaders of the US, France, Germany, and Italy to address the conflict in Israel soon after participating in prayers at a synagogue in north London. During this time, he also provided assurance to the country’s Jewish community regarding their safety.

The five leaders said they “recognise the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people, and support equal measures of justice and freedom for Israelis and Palestinians alike. But make no mistake: Hamas does not represent those aspirations, and it offers nothing for the Palestinian people other than more terror and bloodshed.” The US, the UK, France, Germany and Italy vowed to ensure that Israel is able to defend itself.
