Sunak: We Are Seeking a Humanitarian Ceasefire to Allow Aid into Gaza

A spokesperson for British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that the UK may discuss reaching a humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip to facilitate the arrival of aid, "but it does not want a comprehensive ceasefire as it would only serve Hamas's interests." He stated, "Humanitarian ceasefires, which are temporary and limited in scope, can be an operational tool, and it is clear that this is something we can examine and have been discussing." The spokesperson also noted that the government disagreed with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres's assertion that the Hamas attacks earlier this month "did not happen in a vacuum," a statement that provoked a strong reaction from Israel.
