UK’s Cameron says Gaza truce crucial but ‘a whole lot of conditions’ to meet
Britain’s Foreign Secretary David Cameron says a pause in fighting between Israel and terror group Hamas is vital to enable the release of hostages in Gaza, but a lot of conditions first needed to be met for a lasting ceasefire.
“Crucially what we must try to do is to turn that pause into a permanent sustainable ceasefire,” Cameron tells Reuters in an interview during a visit to Thailand.
“We will only do that if a whole lot of conditions are fulfilled… we’ve got to get Hamas leaders out of Gaza, we have to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure,” he says.
