British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has voiced strong opposition to Israel's recent move to assert control over Gaza. In his statement on Friday, he labeled the decision as erroneous, urging Jerusalem's administration to re-evaluate their course of action.

Starmer stressed that the escalation of military operations would exacerbate the situation rather than resolve it. He expressed concern that this approach fails to contribute to conflict resolution or aid in the release of hostages.

This development marks a significant stance from the British government, highlighting Starmer's call for a reconsideration to prevent further violence and bloodshed.
