Britain's Keir Starmer calls for 'urgent' ceasefire in Gaza

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stressed the urgent "need for a ceasefire deal in the Middle East" while speaking to reporters a day after meeting with US President Joe Biden. 

The two leaders met to discuss the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. 

Earlier this month, the UK announced it would suspend 30 of its 350 arms export licences to Israel. 

However, activists criticised the move, arguing it was insufficient to deter Israel's ongoing war in Gaza.
