UK foreign secretary claims ‘shocking’ strike in Gaza shows need for truce
UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy voices shock about a missile strike targeting Hamas officials in a humanitarian zone in the Gaza Strip, saying it shows the urgent need for a ceasefire.
“We’re meeting at a critical moment — a critical moment for securing a ceasefire in Gaza, with the shocking deaths in Khan Younis this morning only reinforcing how desperately needed that ceasefire is,” Lammy tells a joint news conference with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
