June 2 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, assured this Sunday that his Government could “flood Gaza with much more aid” if the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) accepts the proposal presented on Friday by the US President, Joe Biden, for a halt the fire in the Strip, a plan that he described as “good news.”
“I hope that Hamas will take this opportunity to close the deal that is on the table, which will ensure that the hostages can be freed and returned to their families, that we can flood Gaza with much more aid than we have been receiving,” he said. Sunak declared.
At a campaign event in the northeast of England, the head of the British Executive and Conservative candidate for the general elections next July said that a pause in the fighting should become a “sustainable and lasting peace, which is what we all want to see,” according to the German news agency dpa.
For his part, the United Kingdom Foreign Minister, David Cameron, has supported the proposal for a “permanent and sustainable” ceasefire, underlining the need for a “political solution to this long-standing problem.” “That is possible if we all do our part,” he added.
In addition, Cameron has assured that the parties will have to “meet a series of conditions.” “It is clear that Gaza cannot be governed by Hamas and that Israel needs security guarantees. But it is also clear that we have to support the Palestinian Authority and establish the parameters of what a Palestinian state would be,” the minister declared in a video published on the social network X.
The plan announced this Friday by Biden – whose preparation the president attributed to Israel – consists of three phases. The first of these consists of a complete ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from populated areas of Gaza, the partial release of hostages, the return of Palestinian civilians to their homes, and an increase in humanitarian aid.
The second phase consists of a permanent end to hostilities, the exchange of Palestinian prisoners for surviving hostages, and a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. The third and final stage would consist of the beginning of the reconstruction of Gaza and the delivery of the mortal remains of the deceased hostages.
