British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says while the focus should be on getting humanitarian aid into Gaza, “we also need to look beyond that situation to what then happens in the event of a ceasefire”, Al Jazeera reports

“We have to be absolutely clear that Hamas can play no part in any future governance in Palestine,” the prime minister said at a news conference with US President Donald Trump. “It’s really important that we’re clear about what triggered this, who took the hostages.”
