The Foreign Secretary suggested a ceasefire could hamper Israel's ability to defend itself
The Foreign Secretary has backed a 'humanitarian pause' rather than a ceasefire in Gaza, as Israeli troops have reached 'the heart of Gaza City'. James Cleverly told journalists on the sidelines of the G7 Foreign Minister talks that he has heard 'absolutely nothing that makes us believe that Hamas leadership is serious about a ceasefire”.
He suggested a ceasefire could hamper Israel's ability to defend itself. His comments come hours after Labour frontbencher Imran Hussain said he was quitting his role as shadow minister for the new deal for working people to be able to “strongly advocate” for a ceasefire. He said he was stepping back as his view 'differs substantially' from the party's leaders, putting pressure on Sir Keir Starmer over his position on the conflict.
