World leaders call for ceasefire after Hamas rejected an agreement with Israel

This comes after Hamas rejected Israel's latest ceasefire proposal, despite reports suggesting the talks had made good progress.

They said the “war should now end” and that the two-state solution was necessary to bring peace to the Middle East.

The two-state solution would create an independent Palestinian state in addition to the existing Israeli state by giving the two peoples their territory.

The leaders noted a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire and said this must be implemented immediately and unconditionally.

They also warned of the dangerous “consequences of an Israeli offensive in Rafah, which, according to them, “would bring only more death and suffering”, writes Skynews, broadcast Clankosova.tv.
