British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has praised a “long overdue” ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon that would “provide some measure of relief to the civilian populations” of both countries, AFP reports.

Calling for the truce to be “turned into a lasting political solution in Lebanon”, Starmer vowed to be at the “forefront of efforts to break the ongoing cycle of violence in pursuit of a long-term, sustainable peace in the Middle East”.
