UK foreign minister calls on Hamas to accept hostage deal proposal presented by Biden
British Foreign Minister David Cameron calls on Hamas to accept an Israeli hostage deal proposal laid out by US President Joe Biden this evening.
“With a new hostage agreement on the table, Hamas must accept this deal so we can see a stop in the fighting, the hostages released and returned to their families and a flood of humanitarian aid into Gaza,” he writes in a post on X.
He adds that an extended ceasefire can be “turned into a permanent peace” if all parties are “prepared to take the right steps.”
“Let’s seize this moment and bring this conflict to an end.”
