The embassy's team, Israelis and British people who work shoulder-to-shoulder on normal days and in crisis, stood together for a minute's silence in memory of the victims of the atrocities committed in Israel by Hamas a month ago today (7 November), and in the hope of a quick and safe return of the hostages.
The Israeli workers expressed their gratitude for the support they received from the embassy. The ambassador, Simon Walters, recited a prayer for the safe return of the hostages.
The ceremony was also attended virtually by members of the British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's Jewish Society, who expressed their support of their colleagues in Israel.
