British PM calls for "immediate steps" towards ceasefire in Gaza

"The Prime Minister said there must be immediate steps towards a ceasefire, so that hostages can be released and more humanitarian aid can get in for those in desperate need," Starmer's office said in a statement released on Sunday.

"The Prime Minister reiterated his ongoing support for Israel's right to self-defense in accordance with international law," the statement said.

Starmer met Herzog in Paris where both were attending the Olympics.
