The new British Labor chancellor, David Lammy, called for it “A ceasefire in Gaza” and “an agreement appeared to release the tensions” in the hands of Hamas “in the coming days,” in his first trip to Israel as Foreign Secretary. The question he made in front of the president of Israel, Isaac Herzog. A real political change in the UK Chancellery in the face of conflict.
The new foreign secretary met with political leaders and relatives of the hostages held in Gaza during a trip to Israel.
You have an interview with President Herzog this Monday, after speaking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa on Sunday.
Clutch agreement
In his meeting with Herzog, the Labor leader said he was using “all diplomatic forces” to help secure the release of the remaining hostages, held by Hamas.
“I hope that we will see an open agreement emerging in the coming days. And I am using all diplomatic efforts. In fact, last week with the G7 countries and also with the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken , “Pressing for that disclosure agreement”he admitted.
“And I also hope that soon we will see a release and reduce the suffering and the unbearable loss of life that we see in Gaza too,” he continued, addressing the Israeli president.
Chancellor Lammy meet with the families of hostages killed or held in Gaza by Hamas.
Photos shared on social media show him hugging and shaking hands with those involved. Among them is the family of Tamir Adar, who was killed by Hamas and whose remains are in Gaza.
The Foreign Secretary also announced that the UK will provide a further £5.5m this year to UK-Med to fund its work in Gaza.
Charities aid send experienced humanitarian doctors, including those working in the NHSto areas affected by the crisis.
The funds will be used to support the ongoing operation of its field hospitals and the emergency department of Nasser Hospital.
Lammy’s visit comes after Israel’s latest attack on Gaza, which killed at least 90 people in the south of the territory.
Gaza, work problem
Amnesty International UK said Lammy’s trip was “prime evidence” of “The Labor government’s commitment to international law.”
The conflict in Gaza has proven to be a major problem for Prime Minister Keir Starmer since he began his campaign last October.
Many Labor voters feel that Israel is not important enough. Several shadow ministers in his cabinet resigned last year, after the party was initially reluctant to support calls for an end.
While Labor won a landslide victory in the general election, former MP Jonathan Ashworth was one of several Labor candidates defeated by independents, who made Gaza a key part of their campaign. Others, like Health Secretary Wes Streeting, see them much less.
Negotiations for the clutches and Hamas have resumed with three phaseswith the mediation of the United States, Egypt and Qatar.
The program is divided into three phases. The first 6-week phase included an evacuation and Israeli withdrawal from occupied areas of Gaza, in exchange for the release of the most vulnerable hostages. At that time hundreds of Palestinian prisoners will be released.
In the second phase, the total withdrawal and withdrawal of the Israeli army will be negotiated. All live scores will be released. In the third phase, a Gaza reconstruction program will be launched and the bodies of the dead bears will be handed over to their families.
Negotiations have become tough between Egypt, the head of the CIA, the head of the Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security service, MOSAD and the Prime Minister of Qatar.
But despite international pressure, especially from the United States, Prime Minister Benjamin Nentanyahu said that “any agreement must allow Israel to start fighting until all the goals of the war are achieved.”
Hamas has prevented an attack on the Gaza capital running the risk of returning the negotiation process to zero.
Gaza is terrible. The Israelis told the Gazans to flee, and they had nowhere to go. They had absolutely nothing, not even their clothes. They are running away with what they are wearing. No one died in Gaza, not a humanitarian group. Those who returned to the Haijay neighborhood in the center of the city, after two weeks of attacks, found only the dead, among the ruins.
No house is standing. Hospitals, which had begun to open, were evacuated again. People have nowhere to go, it’s desperation.
But every time the negotiations for the release of the hostages began, Israel organized a special bombardment to destroy them. That is the conviction of the negotiators in the United States and Egypt.
Israelis attacked the camp of displaced people in the Al Masawi neighborhood of Khan Younis in Gaza Strip on Saturday. They killed 90 people and injured 289 people. They are looking for Mohamed Deif, the organizer of the October 7 massacre in Israel, which killed 1,200 people, and Rafa Salama, another Hamas official. Two Hamas figures said Deif had not been killed in the attack. The Israeli army did not confirm either.
The International Court of Justice in The Hague will issue this week its position on Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Israeli soldiers continue to die. Egypt and Israel discuss a surveillance system to prevent traffic on the Egypt-Gaza border.
