'Immediate steps' needed toward Gaza ceasefire, UK's Starmer tells Israel's President Herzog
Yeah, yeah. You and what army?
[ARABNEWS] British Prime Minister Keir Starmer
…whose Jewish wife is even farther to the left than he is…
told Israel’s President Isaac Herzog there needed to be "immediate steps" toward a ceasefire in Israel’s conflict with Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
bully boyz in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
"The Prime Minister said there must be immediate steps toward a ceasefire, so that hostages can be released and more humanitarian aid can get in for those in desperate need," Starmer’s office said in a statement released on Sunday.

"The Prime Minister reiterated his ongoing support for Israel’s right to self-defense in accordance with international law," the statement said.

Starmer met Herzog in Gay Paree where both were attending the Olympics.

In a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on July 7 shortly after Starmer took office, he "set out the clear and urgent need for a ceasefire," according to a previous British government statement.

Starmer on Sunday said there was no moral equivalence between Israel and Hamas and expressed his condolences for the deaths of five hostages kidnapped during the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7 whose bodies had recently been recovered.

About 1,200 people were killed and 250 were taken hostage in the Oct. 7 attack, according to Israeli tallies.

More than 39,000 Paleostinians have been killed in the Israeli offensive in Gaza, according to local health authorities, who do not distinguish between fighters and non-combatants.

#5 "immediate steps"

step 1- eliminate another 5k Hamas soldiers and auxiliaries

step 2 - eliminate another 50 km of Hamas tunnels

step 3 - eliminate another 50 higher level Hamas commanders

those would definitely move a ceasefire forward
