British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said that a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and a two-state solution to the conflict between the parties are impossible as long as the radical group Hamas exists. He stated this in an interview Corriere della Sera.
“A ceasefire would lead to the continuation of Hamas, which would lead to the risk of repeat attacks like October 7, so there can be no immediate ceasefire, nor can there be a two-state solution to the conflict. It’s incompatible,” Cameron said.
For the British Foreign Secretary, an end to hostilities is only possible by eliminating security threats to Israel, and that means eliminating Hamas.
He emphasized that much work still needs to be done on the decision to establish two independent states, as returning to the old status quo is no longer possible.
Before that Germany and England spoke Berlin and London emphasize the need to establish a long-term and sustainable ceasefire within the framework of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, as an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip is unlikely to become permanent. This is stated in an article written by German Foreign Minister Annalena Bärbock and British Foreign Secretary David Cameron for the Times newspaper.
Previously Britain called on Israel to comply with international humanitarian law.
