Britain and France reiterate ceasefire call as Israeli onslaught continues in Gaza

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have reiterated a "call for an immediate ceasefire".

The two leaders met at the Elysee Palace in Paris on Thursday, where they discussed among other things "the need to de-escalate the situation in the Middle East".

Starmer also said the two countries would work together to tackle illegal migration and vowed to "reset" Britain's relationship with the European Union.
