Last night's military activity between India and Pakistan is a serious concern. Speaking today to Dr. S. Jaishankar and Ishaq Dar I was clear that conflict is in nobody’s interest. There needs to be a dialogue that leads to a swift and sustainable ceasefire.

Today’s ceasefire between India and Pakistan is hugely welcome. I urge both parties to sustain this. De-escalation is in everybody’s interest.

We firmly oppose the expansion of Israeli military operations in Gaza. The level of human suffering is intolerable. In the lead-up to the June 18 conference in New York, we must all work toward implementing the two-state solution. Our joint statement — France, the United

Today, we have sanctioned more extremist settlers responsible for or supporting violence against Palestinian communities in the West Bank. The UK has also paused Free Trade Agreement negotiations with Israel, effective immediately.

Today we have suspended negotiations with this Israeli government on a new free trade agreement. It is not possible to advance these discussions with a government that is pursuing egregious policies in the West Bank and Gaza. My statement 👇🏿

Horrified by the killing of two Israeli Embassy staff in DC. We condemn this appalling, antisemitic crime. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and colleagues at this awful time.

Putin says he wants peace. Yet this week, Russia launched the two largest air attacks on Ukrainian cities since the start of the invasion. 900 drone and missile attacks in just 3 days. Ukraine stands ready for an unconditional ceasefire. Putin continues to choose war.
