Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has offered his "full support" to Israel, following this weekend's attacks by Iran.

Sunak told the Commons: "Mr. Speaker, our action reflects our wider strategy in the Middle East, which I have set out in this House previously. I believe there are three vital steps to put the region onto a better path.

"First, we must uphold regional security against hostile actors, including in the Red Sea. And we must ensure Israel's security. That is non-negotiable.

"It is a fundamental condition for peace in the region. In the face of threats like we saw this weekend, Israel has our full support."
