UK Foreign Minister Lammy calls Gaza situation ’indefensible’

Investing.com -- UK Foreign Minister David Lammy described the situation in Gaza as "indefensible" on Friday, while renewing calls for a ceasefire in the region.

Speaking at a joint news conference with the Australian defence minister in Sydney, Lammy expressed deep concern about recent developments in Gaza.

"The sight of children reaching for aid and losing their lives has caused consternation over much of the world. And that is why I repeat my call today for a ceasefire," Lammy said.

The British foreign minister specifically pointed to worsening conditions in the territory, stating: "The deteriorating situation we’ve seen in Gaza over the last few weeks is indefensible."

His comments come amid ongoing conflict in the region and growing international pressure for a resolution to the crisis.
