LONDON, United Kingdom - UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said Wednesday that"specific pauses" are needed in Israel's war with Hamas to allow aid into Gaza, but again stopped short of calling for a ceasefire.
"We recognise for all of that to happen there has to be a safer environment which of course necessitates specific pauses as distinct from a ceasefire," he told MPs. The spokesman also said the UK leader disagreed with UN chief Antonio Guterres, who said Tuesday that Hamas' attacks did not occur"in a vacuum," pointing to"56 years of suffocating occupation" endured by the Palestinians.
Hamas militants stormed into Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7, and killed at least 1,400 people, mostly civilians who were shot, mutilated or burnt to death on the first day of the raid, according to Israeli officials.
