UK foreign minister repeats calls for ceasefire after talk with Blinken on Middle East

British foreign minister David Lammy repeats calls for an immediate ceasefire, given indications of an imminent Israeli ground offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon, after discussing the matter with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken over the phone.

“We’ve both seen the reports in the media about a next phase for Israel in Lebanon,” Lammy tells Sky News.

“We both agreed the position that we had at the UN last week that the best way forward is an immediate ceasefire and to get back to a political solution.”
