We strongly condemn settler violence and terror, including numerous attacks on West Bank villages over the weekend. The Israeli government must take concrete steps to prevent such actions. Its decision to expand control over the West Bank must be reversed.

Deeply concerned by Israel's announcement stating intention to expand its ground operations in Lebanon, where over 1m people have already been forcibly displaced. Israel must avoid further exacerbation of the conflict, and refrain from any action to seize Lebanese territory.

Attacks against UN peacekeepers are completely unacceptable. We extend our condolences to the families of the three Indonesian peacekeepers killed in Lebanon. The UK condemns these attacks and calls on all parties to ensure the safety of UNIFIL personnel.

The UK condemns Hizballah’s attacks against Israel. But Israel’s expansion of ground operations threatens Lebanon’s sovereignty and undermines work to disarm Hizballah. Negotiations between Israel and Lebanon are needed to secure peace for those on both sides of the Blue Line.

A tragedy like the Israeli strike on the World Central Kitchen aid convoy in Gaza must never happen again. Two years on, I pay tribute to the bravery of those staff. We continue to push Israel for justice for the families of John Chapman, James “Jim” Henderson and James Kirby.

The Security Council condemns recent incidents that led to the deaths of three Indonesian peacekeepers from UNIFIL. The UNSC members express their condolences. Peacekeepers must never be the target of attacks. The Security Council calls for a UN investigation.

It is deeply regrettable that Bahrain’s resolution was vetoed by Russia and China. By denying ships the right of transit, Iran is holding the global economy hostage. We are determined to see every possible diplomatic and economic measure to get the Strait of Hormuz reopened.

I welcome the ceasefire agreement reached overnight, which will bring a moment of relief to the region and the world. Together with our partners we must do all we can to support and sustain this ceasefire, turn it into a lasting agreement and re-open the Strait of Hormuz.

Along with 68 partners, we condemn attacks against UNIFIL - peacekeepers must never be targeted. The escalating violence in Lebanon has seen rising civilian casualties and over one million displaced. We urge an immediate return to the 2024 cessation of hostilities.

Throughout the conflict, Keir Starmer has been clear: we must see full de-escalation. In the Middle East this week, he met with our international allies to ensure freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and thanked our Armed Forces for their tireless work to keep us safe.

The ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz is deeply damaging. Getting global shipping moving is vital to ease cost of living pressures. The UK has convened more than 40 nations who share our aim to restore freedom of navigation. This week the UK and France will co-host a

The UK is clear that Lebanon must be included in the ceasefire. I have seen the vital work of @redcrosslebanon in Tebnine; the killing of an aid worker is tragic. Ongoing strikes risk a humanitarian crisis. Hizballah must disarm and Israeli strikes stop now.

It’s good news that the Strait of Hormuz has now reopened. This must be a long lasting and workable solution, without tolls or restrictions on routes. Today we announced our joint plan with France and other international partners to protect freedom of navigation. We need to

Attacks against peacekeepers are unacceptable. @UNIFIL personnel's safety in Lebanon cannot be compromised. Deeply saddened by the death of peacekeeper Sergeant-Chief Montorio, along with three other peacekeepers injured in an attack in southern Lebanon.

As we work to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and secure regional stability, we must not lose sight of Gaza. In Brussels, I reaffirmed our commitment to getting aid to those in need, empowering the PA, addressing settler violence in the West Bank and disarming Hamas. 1/2

Productive discussions with PM of Palestine, Nickolay E. MLADENOV, Dr. Ali Shaath and US partners. The UK will continue to do all we can to support the 20-point plan for Gaza and ensure we deliver a lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians.

The UK congratulates Colombia on holding free, fair and peaceful congressional elections. Facing widespread security challenges, we call for greater efforts to protect women and girls, Indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities who are disproportionately affected by violence.

The UK welcomes the ceasefire extension. We want to see negotiations restart, a comprehensive settlement and full reopening of the Strait without restrictions or tolls. Any return to hostilities would be a major setback for the region, the global economy and cost-of-living.
