The devastating plane crash in Ahmedabad has impacted both British and Indian families. I’ve spoken with Dr. S. Jaishankar to express my profound condolences. As one of our closest partners, the UK stands ready to provide any assistance India may need during this difficult time.

Alarmed by further strikes in the Middle East overnight, with reports of fatalities and injuries in Israel. We must urgently de-escalate & prevent any further harm to civilians. Following the Prime Minister's call with PM Netanyahu, I spoke to Iranian FM Araghchi to urge calm.

I spoke to גדעון סער جدعون ساعر earlier. I expressed my concern for civilians in Israel and reiterated the UK's call for a de-escalation of tensions in the Middle East. Now is the time for restraint, calm and a return to diplomacy.
