British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper announced that she is working with Washington and other countries to support a monitoring mechanism that ensures all parties adhere to the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Cooper added that "Gaza cannot be divided and must be part of the two-state solution," emphasizing the need to transform the ceasefire in Gaza into sustainable peace.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stressed yesterday, during his meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Ankara, the importance of maintaining the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.
The UK is participating in the coordination center opened by the United States in Israel to monitor the implementation of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the entry of aid.
The British Ministry of Defense stated a few days ago, in a statement, that "a small number" of British planning officers have been sent to Israel to join the coordination center.
The ministry's spokesperson said that this mission aims to keep the UK engaged in the US-led efforts to plan for Gaza's future after the war.
British media reported Defense Minister John Healey as saying that the deployment of this force came in response to a request from the United States.
A ceasefire is currently in effect in the Gaza Strip under the agreement reached in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, on October 9, with the mediation of Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, and the participation of the United States, following two years of Israeli devastation.
Gaza cannot be divided and must be part of the two-state solution.
