British Foreign Secretary David Lammy has stated that the resumption of negotiations between Israel and Hamas presents an opportunity to achieve a ceasefire and secure the release of hostages in Gaza.
In a statement issued by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, Lammy emphasized, “We are at a critical juncture for the stability of the region, and the coming hours and days could shape the future of the Middle East. We urge our partners across the region to choose peace.”
He highlighted that “these talks offer a chance to secure an immediate ceasefire to protect civilians in Gaza, release hostages, and restore stability in this dangerous time for the region.”
Lammy also affirmed that the UK “continues to use every diplomatic tool at its disposal to secure a ceasefire, as it is in the interest of both Israelis and Palestinians to reach an agreement as soon as possible.”
