A Downing Street spokesman said:
The Prime Minister spoke to Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu this afternoon, and they discussed the escalating
situation across the Middle East.
The Prime Minister condemned Iran's attack on Israel today in the
strongest terms, which began during the leaders' conversation,
and expressed the UK's steadfast commitment to Israeli security
and the protection of civilians.
During the call, the Prime Minister also underlined the
importance of a ceasefire in Lebanon to allow space for a
political solution in line with UNSC Resolution 1701.
The Prime Minister also raised the situation in Gaza and the
importance of a ceasefire and action to bring home the hostages.
The Prime Minister spoke to King Abdullah II of
Jordan earlier this afternoon from Downing
Street.
The leaders began by underscoring the urgent need for a ceasefire
in both Lebanon and Gaza. They both called for de-escalation to
prevent the extreme humanitarian situation from worsening.
The Prime Minister said he will work alongside partners and do
everything possible to push for de-escalation and push for a
diplomatic solution.
The leaders agreed to stay in touch.
