📢 Sir Keir Starmer has spoken out against Israel’s airstrike on Hamas leaders in Qatar, warning that such actions risk heightening tensions in the Middle East. 🌍✈️
With the Prime Minister’s meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog on the horizon, Sir Keir made his stance clear on social media. He stressed the urgent need for a ceasefire, the release of hostages, and a significant increase in aid to Gaza. “This is the only solution towards long-lasting peace,” he emphasised, following his condolences for a Qatari security officer who died in the attack.
Tensions are high following Israel’s operation against Hamas’s senior leadership, with a Qatari-hosted effort aiming to ease hostilities between Israel and Hamas. UK officials, including the Prime Minister, have condemned the attack, underlining the need to prevent further violence in the region.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak remains firm in his approach to the issue, balancing condemnation of Hamas with calls for restraint and humanitarian assistance. He reiterates the UK’s unwavering priority: ending the suffering in Gaza through international cooperation and dialogue.
Ahead of the anticipated meeting with President Herzog, the Prime Minister is expected to confront the dire situation in Gaza, advocating for progress towards peace and highlighting the necessity of addressing humanitarian needs. The message is consistent and clear: the violence must stop.
Stay tuned for updates on this unfolding situation, and let’s hope for peace and stability for all those affected in the region. 🤝🕊️
