British Foreign Secretary: We want the Gaza conflict to end as soon as possible

We want this conflict to end as soon as possible. We don't want it to last for a long moment, more than we need”, Cameron said at a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

He confirmed that the important question is whether there is any way to turn that pause into a lasting truce. But for that, Cameron claimed, it would take the removal of Hamas' leadership from Gaza, where Israel killed more than 24,000 people since the Palestinian group's offensive on October 7th.

I think this should be the approach we try to have. Let's put this pause on, get help and get the hostages out, conduct hostage negotiations and see if we can turn it into a sustainable” ceasefire, he said.

Clearing why the term “sustainable”, Cameron noted that only the fighting ban “would never bring about a two-state solution”, as the two-state solution cannot be reached with Hamas in Gaza with the ability to launch missiles against Israel.

The United Kingdom has faced criticism from the voices and pro-Palestinian organisations for not seeking a truce in Gaza.

The United States has proposed a Palestinian Authority revived to assume responsibility in Gaza after the conflict ends, joining its administration with the West Coast.
