The items recently spirited into Israel include documents, recordings, photos, and items collected by Syrian intelligence after his capture in January 1965, letters in his own handwriting to his family in Israel, photographs of his activity during his operational mission in Syria and personal objects that were taken from his home after his capture.

The United Kingdom has paused trade negotiations with Israel, sanctioned West Bank settlers and summoned the Israeli ambassador due to Israel’s military operation in Gaza and settler violence in the West Bank,

The British government says it is suspending free trade negotiations with Israel and leveling new sanctions targeting West Bank settlers as it criticizes Israel’s military actions in Gaza.

The UK government has announced sanctions on Daniella Weiss, a far-right Israeli settler known as the "godmother" of the settler movement. Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the move "demonstrates our determination to hold extremist settlers to account as Palestinian communities suffer violence and intimidation".

European and UK officials ratcheted up pressure on Israel over its decision to deepen the military incursion in Gaza, expanding the international outcry over the humanitarian crisis caused by the conflict.

Israel has begun allowing a trickle of food and medicine into the Gaza Strip after sealing the territory’s 2 million Palestinians off from all imports for more than 2 1/2 months.

Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer tells Parliament he is "horrified by the escalation from Israel" in its Gaza offensive.

France said the amount of aid Israel is allowing into Gaza is “totally insufficient,” as a U.N. official said aid trucks were yet to reach those in need.

Israel has launched another major offensive in the territory in recent days, saying it aims to return dozens of hostages held by Hamas and destroy the militant group.

Israel has promised "unprecedented" attacks as part of Operation Gideon’s Chariots - that would be quite something to contemplate, mindful of the fact that the last 20 months of war have been described as one of the largest bombardments in military history.
