UK, France and Germany urge UN Security Council to back Gaza peace plan

The leaders of Britain, France and Germany on Friday urged the United Nations Security Council to give its "full backing" to the US-backed peace plan for Gaza.

"We agree that the UN Security Council should give its full backing to the plan and support its implementation," the so-called E3 group of nations said in a statement, as a ceasefire began and Israel started withdrawing troops from Gaza.
