UK French and Canadian leaders horrified by situation in Gaza Starmer says

LONDON - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Tuesday he, along with the leaders of France and Canada, was horrified by the military escalation in Gaza, repeating calls for a ceasefire.

I want to put on record today that were horrified by the escalation from Israel, Starmer told parliament, after releasing a joint statement with French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

We repeat our demand for a ceasefire as the only way to free the hostages, we repeat our opposition to settlements in the West Bank, and we repeat our demand to massively scale up humanitarian assistance into Gaza.

Starmer said foreign minister David Lammy would set out Britains response in detail later on Tuesday.

We must coordinate our response, because this war has gone on for far too long. REUTERS
