Sunak advocates for aid pauses, not cease-fire, in Gaza conflict

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak supports a temporary pause in the Israel-Hamas conflict to allow aid into Gaza, but rejects calls for a full ceasefire. He asserts that Israel has the right to respond to Hamas's attack as long as it adheres to international law. The UK is working to deliver aid to Gaza, including a Royal Air Force plane carrying 21 tons of aid. Discussions have taken place with British officials and UN allies regarding specific pauses to facilitate aid delivery and the safe departure of UK citizens and foreign nationals.
