"Escalation of conflict in the region is in no one's interest" - Starmer

The reports of the strikes (by Israel) are concerning and we call on all parties to urgently step back and reduce tensions. Escalating conflict in the region is in no one’s interest, said British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

“Stability in the Middle East must be a priority and we call on partners to de-escalate. Now is the time for restraint, calm and a return to diplomacy,” Starmer said.
