UK’s Starmer says he pushed Herzog on Gaza ceasefire during Paris meet

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer told Israel’s President Isaac Herzog there needed to be “immediate steps” towards a ceasefire in Israel’s conflict with Hamas in Gaza, London says.

“The Prime Minister said there must be immediate steps towards a ceasefire, so that hostages can be released and more humanitarian aid can get in for those in desperate need,” Starmer’s office says in a statement.

“The Prime Minister reiterated his ongoing support for Israel’s right to self-defence in accordance with international law,” the statement says.

Starmer met Herzog in Paris where both were attending the Olympics.
