Baghdad-INA
British Foreign Secretary David Cameron and his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock stressed the “urgent need” to achieve a “permanent ceasefire” in Gaza.
The two ministers wrote in a joint article published by the Sunday Times newspaper that “a very large number of civilians were killed” in this war, and urged the Zionist entity to end its military operation against Gaza quickly but also “permanently.”
“We must do everything we can to pave the way for a permanent ceasefire that leads to lasting peace. The sooner, the better — the need is urgent,” they wrote.
However, the two ministers also pointed out that they “do not believe that calling now for a general and immediate ceasefire, with the hope that it will somehow become permanent, is the way forward.”
On Tuesday evening, the United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly on a non-binding resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, but Britain abstained from voting.
