Lammy 'concerned' by Israeli decision to annex Gaza City, announces no UK response
8 August 2025 15:48 BST
UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy has told reporters that he is "concerned" by the Israeli cabinet's decision on Friday to occupy Gaza City via a ground offensive.
Speaking in a joint-press conferance with US Vice-President JD Vance, Lammy's words on the controversial Israeli plan were noticably softer than those of many Western leaders.
Earlier today, Germany suspended its military exports to Israel in response to the plan.
No similar move was mentioned by Lammy.
Vance did not mention the Israeli cabinet decision during the conference.
