In a video message, Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Daniel Meron, called on the UN “to for once condemn Hamas in writing in one resolution”.

The build-up to the anniversary has been marked by soaring tension, with fears the ongoing conflict could spiral into a wider war.

In a statement late Sunday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said: “One year on from these horrific attacks we must unequivocally stand with the Jewish community and unite as a country.

“We must never look the other way in the face of hate.”

He also called for a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, and for a free flow of aid into Gaza.

“We must also not look the other way as civilians bear the ongoing dire consequences of this conflict in the Middle East.”
