Hello PS UK listeners this is Nishkamar and I'm here with Coco Khan.

Hi guys.

Unfortunately we're watching a war unfold on a terrifying scale and events are moving rapidly.

So we recorded our show yesterday and at that point there hadn't been significant moves

from the UK leadership but since then the UK government has launched a twin-prong

diplomatic mission. Prime Minister Rishisunak flew overnight to Israel and Foreign Secretary James Cleverly to Egypt.

This morning Rishisunak expressed his solidarity with the Israeli people.

He also met with President Isaac Herzog and Prime Minister Benjamin Nettin Yahoo.

I know that you are taking every precaution to avoid harming civilians in direct contrast

to the terrorists of Hamas which seek to put civilians in harm's way.

But I also want to thank you for the support that your government has given to the families of British nationals caught up in this horror,

including your efforts to release the hostages, secure their release.

And I know that we will continue to cooperate, particularly with regard to the British nationals

that are involved.

Can I also say that we have seen the scenes over the past day that have shocked all of us,

particularly at the hospital, and we mourn the loss of every innocent life,

civilians of every faith, every nationality who have been killed.

And we also recognize that the Palestinian people are victims of Hamas too.

And that is why I welcome your decision yesterday that you took to ensure that

routes into Gaza will be opened for humanitarian aid to enter.

I'm glad that you made that decision we will support it we're increasing

our aid to the region and we will look to get more support to people as quickly as
