Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has called on Israel to “protect ordinary Palestinians” as it prepares a ground offensive against the leaders of Hamas—which ordered the attacks at the weekend that killed 1,200 Israelis—in the Gaza Strip.

Mr. Sunak spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday to reiterate his support for Israel, but expressed his concerns for the 2.3 million people in Gaza who could become collateral damage.
