Britain calls for an end to the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, insisting that a ceasefire is “the only way to restore security” for civilians in Lebanon and northern Israel.
“We urge all parties to engage in efforts to reach a ceasefire and indeed a long-term sustainable peace in the Middle East,” Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s spokesman tells reporters.
Since October 8, 2023, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, with the terror group saying it was doing so to support Palestinians in Gaza amid the war there sparked by the Hamas onslaught on October 7.
