British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called for the adoption of a sustainable humanitarian truce in the Gaza Strip that would allow the release of more Israeli detainees held by resistance factions and the entry of aid into Gaza.
Sunak stressed – in press statements – today, Tuesday – that the war in Gaza must “not last a single moment longer than it should.”
He said that his government “is working day and night to secure the safe release of the British hostages.”
He revealed the existence of a dialogue with Qatar regarding resuming the process of releasing detainees held by the resistance in the Gaza Strip.
Two days ago, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron and his German counterpart, Annalena Baerbock, called on all parties in the Middle East to work towards a two-state solution, and they expressed what they called the cruelty of the heart-breaking moment when watching this large number of children killed or injured.
The two ministers said – in a joint article in the Times newspaper – that no one wants to see this conflict last a moment longer than necessary.

A few days ago, Sunak avoided answering two questions posed by Scottish National Party leader Stephen Flynn in the British House of Commons, regarding the war on Gaza.
During a session in the House of Commons, Flynn asked Sunak two questions regarding the latter’s ability to share his Christmas message to children being bombed in Gaza, and London’s abstention from voting on the ceasefire project at the United Nations.
In his response to Flynn, Sunak said: “No one wants to see this conflict continue for a moment longer than necessary.”
Britain had abstained from voting on a proposal to the United Nations General Assembly calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. While the United States voted against the resolution, 153 countries supported it.
