British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Tuesday renewed his call for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. Sunak said that a ceasefire is essential to allow humanitarian aid to reach the region and to secure the release of hostages.
In a statement to the British Parliament, Sunak said that the UK’s conflict with the Houthis is not with the Yemeni people. The UK’s attacks on the Houthis are aimed at securing maritime navigation in the Red Sea, he said, and the UK does not want to escalate the conflict.
Sunak also called on the Houthis to stop their attacks in the Red Sea and to guarantee maritime security.
The call for a humanitarian ceasefire comes amid ongoing efforts to address the complex dynamics of the region and provide relief to those affected by the conflict. The UK remains committed to supporting initiatives aimed at bringing about lasting peace and stability in Gaza and the surrounding areas.
Prime Minister Sunak’s appeal highlights the UK’s dedication to promoting humanitarian values and addressing the pressing needs of communities affected by conflict. It is hoped that this renewed call for a ceasefire will contribute to a more peaceful and stable future for Gaza and its residents.
