Britain Calls for Ceasefire Amid Israel-Lebanon Conflict

Britain has urged all parties involved in the Israel-Lebanon conflict to de-escalate and pursue a ceasefire. The UK's stance remains firm in supporting Israel's right to self-defence, but it emphasizes that only a ceasefire will ensure regional stability and security.

Britain on Monday urged all parties involved in the Israel-Lebanon conflict to seek de-escalation and ceasefire after Israel carried out airstrikes on targets in Lebanon.

A spokesperson for Prime Minister Keir Starmer reiterated the UK's unwavering support for Israel's right to self-defence, calling it 'ironclad.' However, the spokesperson emphasized that a ceasefire is the only path to restoring stability and security in the region.

With tensions escalating, Britain stressed the urgency of stepping back from the brink to prevent further violence and chaos in the already volatile area.
