James Cleverly

Foreign Secretary

British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly flew to Israel in an important gesture of solidarity following the October invasion by Hamas terrorists. While visiting the southern town of Ofakim just hours after Israeli forces drove out the last remaining terrorists, Cleverly was forced to take cover from a Hamas rocket barrage fired from Gaza. "Today I've seen a glimpse of what millions experience every day. The threat of Hamas rockets lingers over every Israeli man, woman, and child," he said later. "This is why we are standing shoulder to shoulder with Israel." Cleverly also met survivors of the Hamas atrocities and senior Israeli leaders to outline Britain's support for Israel's right to defend itself. (Photo: Wikimedia / Creative Commons License)
