A Call for Ceasefire and Peace

On Sunday, 14 July, Foreign Secretary David Lammy arrived in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories on his first official visit to the Middle East since assuming his role.

The visit aims to advance diplomatic efforts to halt the ongoing violence in Gaza and pave the way for a sustainable peace process.

 

Focus of the Visit

Diplomatic Engagements

David Lammy is set to hold high-level discussions with key leaders in Israel and the Palestinian territories. In Israel, he will meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Herzog to stress the importance of ending the conflict and securing the release of hostages.

In the Occupied Palestinian Territories, he will engage with President Abbas and Prime Minister Mustafa to reiterate the UK’s support for their commitment to reform and the pursuit of a two-state solution.

 

Humanitarian Efforts

The Foreign Secretary’s visit also brings attention to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. He announced an additional £5.5 million in funding to UK-Med, a frontline medical aid charity.

This funding will support the ongoing efforts of field hospitals and the emergency department at Nasser Hospital, providing life-saving care to thousands of patients suffering from acute respiratory illnesses, infections, and explosive fragmentation trauma.

Statement on the Crisis

“The death and destruction in Gaza is intolerable. This war must end now, with an immediate ceasefire, complied with by both sides,”

stated David Lammy.

He emphasized the necessity for the fighting to cease, the release of hostages held by Hamas, and unrestricted aid access to the people of Gaza.

Lammy’s strong words underscore the UK’s commitment to playing a full diplomatic role in achieving a ceasefire and creating a credible pathway towards a two-state solution.

 

International Support

The UK’s call for a ceasefire has garnered international backing. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has discussed the ceasefire with Lammy, signaling a unified diplomatic effort.

Civil society organizations have also shown support, with a joint letter to the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire.
