Newly-appointed British Foreign Secretary David Lammy calls for “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza

featureInternational News

Britain’s newly appointed Foreign Secretary David Lammy reiterated his support Friday for international efforts to secure an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza Strip, according to AFP.

Lammy, 51, made the remarks in his first comments after becoming the UK’s top diplomat.

New Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer had confirmed Lammy – the party’s spokesperson on foreign affairs since 2021 – in the post hours earlier, following Labour’s landslide victory in the UK general election held on Thursday, July 5.

“The job now is to get to work with tireless diplomacy to support an immediate ceasefire, Lammy said, adding “I will do all I can diplomatically to support US President Joe Biden’s efforts to secure the ceasefire”.
