The UK’s foreign secretary, David Cameron, has said it would be wrong for Israel to carry out a major offensive in Rafah “without a plan to protect people”.
“For there to be a major offensive in Rafah, there would have to be an absolutely clear plan about how you save lives, how you move people out the way, how you make sure they’re fed, you make sure that they have medicine and shelter and everything.”
Lord Cameron also demanded today that the BBC do right by Britain and label Hamas a terrorist organisation.
It came after militants aired a new propaganda video yesterday showing dual-national British-Israeli hostage Nadav Popplewell alive before claiming he was dead.

“And maybe it's a moment actually for the BBC to ask itself again, should we describe these people as terrorists? They are terrorists.”
