Britain has urged Israel to show restraint, says Cleverly

Britain remains supportive of Israel's right to defend itself but has urged it to show restraint in any military action against Palestinian militant group Hamas in order to minimise harm to civilians, foreign minister James Cleverly said. Speaking to the media on Sunday, Cleverly said he had raised the need to minimise civilian casualties in conversations with the Israeli government. "Restraint, discipline – these are the hallmarks of the Israeli defence force that I want to see," Cleverly told Sky News.
