Australian and UK stress ‘urgency’ over need to allow aid into Gaza and for hostages to be released; US draft resolution calls for an immediate truce as part of a hostage deal
Australia and the UK call for ‘immediate cessation of fighting’ in Gaza and warn of ‘potentially devastating consequences’ of Israeli operation in Rafah
Australian and UK foreign and defence ministers on Friday stressed the “urgency of an immediate cessation of fighting in Gaza to allow aid to flow and hostages to be released”, in a statement after talks in Adelaide, reports AFP.
The call came just hours before the US was expected to put a resolution to the UN security council that would stress the need for “an immediate ceasefire”.
