The barbaric acts of terrorism in Israel have reportedly appalled King Charles III, according to sources at Buckingham Palace. The monarch has been requesting constant updates and has expressed that his thoughts and prayers are with all those who are suffering in the conflict. He is said to be extremely concerned about the growing tensions which erupted into violence over the weekend.
The attacks by Hamas have resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 people in Israel, while retaliation by Israeli forces with air strikes has claimed over 1,000 Palestinian lives. The king has stated that he is particularly concerned about those who have lost loved ones and those who are actively involved in the conflict.
The situation in Israel has claimed the lives of 17 British nationals including children, who are either dead or missing in the aftermath of the Hamas attack. The Palestinian militant group is responsible for a series of unprecedented attacks on Israel, which have prompted Israel to retaliate with air strikes and restrict the passage of food, medicine, water, and fuel into Gaza.
Archbishop Justin Welby has also condemned the attacks in a letter to the Board of Deputies of British Jews, calling the violence against innocent civilians “utterly abhorrent.” Meanwhile, the country’s foreign secretary James Cleverly has traveled to Israel to meet survivors and allocate the UK’s support for the nation. The visit seeks to demonstrate the UK’s unbreakable solidarity with Israel following the terrorist attacks by Hamas.
The conflict has already resulted in the deaths of numerous innocent people, and it continues to escalate with no end in sight. King Charles III has expressed his deep concerns about the situation and will continue to monitor the situation closely. The hope is that a resolution is reached that will end the ongoing violence and destruction in both Israel and Palestine
