Britain’s newly appointed Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, has reiterated his support for international efforts to secure an “immediate ceasefire” in the Israel-Hamas war and for the release of remaining hostages.

“The job now is to get to work with tireless diplomacy to support an immediate ceasefire and move towards getting those hostages out,” Lammy told UK broadcasters, in his first comments after becoming the country’s top diplomat hours earlier.
