Britain's Cameron says Gaza ceasefire crucial but 'a whole lot of conditions' to meet

NAKHON RATCHASIMA, Thailand, March 20 (Reuters) - B ritain's Foreign Secretary David Cameron on Wednesday said it was vital for a pause in fighting between Israel and militant group Hamas to enable the release of hostages in Gaza, but a lot of conditions first needed to be met for a lasting ceasefire.

"Crucially what we must try to do is to turn that pause into a permanent sustainable ceasefire," Cameron told Reuters in an interview during a visit to Thailand.

"We will only do that if a whole lot of conditions are fulfilled... we've got to get Hamas leaders out of Gaza, we have to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure."
