British Prime Minister Keir Starmer told Israel's President Isaac Herzog that there needed to be "immediate steps" towards a ceasefire in Israel's conflict with Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
"The Prime Minister said there must be immediate steps towards a ceasefire, so that hostages can be released and more humanitarian aid can get in for those in desperate need," Starmer's office said in a statement.
"The Prime Minister reiterated his ongoing support for Israel's right to self-defense in accordance with international law," the statement added.
Starmer met Herzog in Paris where both were attending the Olympics.
