UK and French foreign ministers visit Israel to promote ceasefire in Gaza

U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy is in Israel with his French counterpart to push for a ceasefire in Gaza, the BBC writes.

In the first joint UK-France visit in more than 10 years, the pair met with Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz and Minister of Strategic Affairs of Israel Ron Dermer. They will also visit the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

It comes as a fresh round of ceasefire talks have begun in Doha, with negotiators from the U.S., Qatar and Egypt meeting an Israeli delegation.

To remind, there are fears of an all-out regional war involving Iran following the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran last month.
