British Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned Israel's offensive in Gaza and called for de-escalation and humanitarian aid.

Keir Starmer, the British prime minister, said Israel's decision to step up its offensive in Gaza was wrong and urged the Israeli government to reconsider. This comes after the approval of a major escalation plan by Prime Minister Netanyahu's cabinet. Starmer emphasized that the current actions will worsen the conflict and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, calling for a ceasefire, increased humanitarian aid and the release of hostages. He added that Hamas should have no role in Gaza's future.
