His joint press conference with Netanyahu had a different tone from the cheerleading we saw from Cleverly and Van de Leyden.
It may not make any difference to the latest Palestinian victims - but it is a slightly more balanced message than what we saw from our own Foreign Secretary. His comment on running for cover when an air raid siren went off - on the day that over 200 children were amongst the latest victims of Israeli attacks in Gaza - was sickening.
