As we’ve reported earlier, UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron is in Israel.

On his visit to Kibbutz Be’eri, he said: “I wanted to come here myself to see the horrific nature of the attacks you suffered on 7 October”

The foreign secretary urged those involved in talks over the deal to release hostages and temporarily pause fighting “to make sure that it happens”.

“Today is a day when we hope to see this humanitarian pause”, he said, “It’s an opportunity to get hostages out and to get aid in”.

An Israeli government source says they believe the deal will go ahead on Friday.

Cameron has meetings with Israeli politicians and families of some of the hostages scheduled for today
