Top UK diplomat renews calls for Gaza truce, release of captives

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy has renewed his call for “an immediate ceasefire” in Gaza, marking 300 days since “the deadliest attack” on Israel, Al Jazeera reports.

Lammy made the remarks on X without elaborating on the subsequent Israeli war on Gaza that has killed nearly 40,000 Palestinians.

He called on Hamas to release all the captives taken from Israel on October 7 last year.
