"We are at a crucial moment for global stability. The coming hours and days could define the future of the Middle East," Lammy said in comments on the restart of negotiations on a ceasefire and hostage deal in the Gaza Strip. "We are urging for our partners across the region to choose peace," he noted. He went to say that as the UK made clear at the UN Security Council this week, the situation in Gaza is devastating. He elaborated that the strike on the al-Tabeen school demonstrated that Palestinians in Gaza have nowhere safe to turn. "The UK will continue to use every diplomatic lever to bring about a ceasefire," he stressed. noting that he spoke last week with partners from across the region on the urgent need to bring this conflict to an end. A ceasefire "would not only protect civilians in Gaza, but also pave the way for wider de-escala tion and bring much-needed stability for the Middle East," the UK Foreign Secretary stressed.
