Israeli President Isaac Herzog has arrived for talks with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Downing Street in what is likely to be a tense meeting, with both leaders planning to criticise each other’s country’s recent behaviour, Reuters reports.

Starmer plans to raise with Herzog the Israeli airstrike on Qatar as well as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, his spokesperson said.

The two men briefly shook hands without smiling on the steps of Downing Street before they entered the building.
