Investing.com -- British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called on Tuesday for Iran and Israel to return to a ceasefire and reduce tensions in the Middle East.

Starmer made the remarks as he arrived in the Netherlands for a NATO leaders summit, following U.S. President Donald Trump’s statement that both countries had violated a truce in their conflict.

"I want the ceasefire to continue, and therefore, obviously, the sooner we get back to that, the better. And that’s the message that I’m discussing with other leaders today," Starmer told reporters.

The British leader emphasized the need to restore the ceasefire, adding that this aligns with his longstanding position on reducing regional tensions.

"We need to get back to that ceasefire, which is consistent with what I’ve been saying about de-escalation for quite some time now," he said.
