Britain urges immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy has called for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah following a week of escalating tensions that have pushed both sides closer to war.

"Tonight, I’m calling for an immediate ceasefire from both sides," Lammy told Reuters after discussions with his French, American, and Italian counterparts in Paris.

"We are all united in our desire for a negotiated political settlement, allowing Israelis to return to their homes in northern Israel and Lebanese to return to theirs."
