More than 100 Britons have been evacuated from Gaza, and the UK government hopes more will follow, according to Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden. He called for the reopening of the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt. The crossing was briefly opened under a Qatari-brokered deal but has since been closed. The UK has urged humanitarian pauses in the Israeli bombardment of Gaza but has not called for a full ceasefire. Dowden also expressed concerns about pro-Palestinian protests in London and their potential impact on planned commemorations for Armistice Day.
