‘There remains no military solution to this conflict’: UK foreign secretary
The UK’s Foreign Secretary David Lammy has condemned Israel’s resumption of hostilities in Gaza.
In a video statement posted on X, Lammy called for an immediate return to a ceasefire. “More bloodshed is in no one’s interest,” he said.
He called on Hamas to release all the captives and on Israel to “abide by international law and to lift the unacceptable restrictions on aid and demand the protection of civilians”.
“There remains no military solution to this conflict,” he added. “A two-state solution remains the only path to a just and lasting peace.”
We urgently want to see a return to a ceasefire.
Diplomacy is the only way to achieve security for both Israelis and Palestinians.
