UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has demanded a ceasefire in Gaza during talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Starmer emphasized the need for caution in handling escalating tensions with Hezbollah in Lebanon. He stressed the urgency of a Gaza ceasefire, the release of hostages, and increased humanitarian aid. Starmer also emphasized the importance of long-term conditions for a two-state solution and financial support for the Palestinian Authority. The UK’s new Labour government is reportedly dropping a previous bid to delay an International Criminal Court decision on potential charges against Netanyahu for war crimes in Gaza. The government is also considering restoring funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. Foreign Secretary David Lammy will review issues such as UK arms sales to Israel.
