Middle East crisis – live updates
The British foreign minister, David Cameron, has said it is clear Israel is “making a decision to act” in response to last weekend’s Iranian mass drone and ballistic missile attack. He said he hoped this would be carried out in a way that minimised escalation.
He was speaking on Wednesday after meeting the Israeli president, Isaac Herzog, in Jerusalem, and is probably the first non-Israeli politician to admit that some kind of Israeli military reprisal is inevitable.
