Starmer added: “Meanwhile, our message to the terrorists in Hamas has not changed and unambiguously. They must launch all the hostages immediately, participate in the ceasefire, disarm and accept that they will not play any role in the Gaza government,” Starmer added.

Speaking at the United Nations headquarters in New York moments after Starmer ended, British Foreign Secretary David Lami said that the UK government made this decision as a “two -state solution in danger.”

Lami said: “Let me be clear-if the Netanyahu government’s rejection of the two-state solution is wrong. It is a moral error and it is a strategic mistake. It harms the interests of the Israeli people, and closes the only way to a just and lasting peace, which is why we are determined to protect the safety of two solutions.”
