The foreign secretary said he would be starting with Benny Gantz, a retired general and member of the Israel's war cabinet who he is due to meet later.

Lord Cameron told peers that "patience needs to run very thin" with Israel.

And he said there was "dreadful suffering" in Gaza, with people dying of hunger and preventable disease.

Speaking during a debate on foreign affairs in the House of Lords on Tuesday, he said that despite the UK pushing for more aid to get into Gaza, the amount that had reached the territory in February was just half that of the previous month.
