Britain says that all sides in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah should seek de-escalation and a ceasefire, reiterating that those involved in the conflict should step back from the brink.

A spokesperson for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says that the UK’s support for Israel’s right to self-defense is “ironclad,” but that only a ceasefire can restore stability and security to the region.
