British Foreign Secretary David Lammy urged all relevant parties on Friday to exercise "restraint" for a "further regional escalation" in the Middle East to be avoided.
In a post on X, Lammy revealed that he spoke with Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz, adding that he made it clear efforts need to be made to de-escalate the situation.
"Our focus must be on an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all hostages, the protection of civilians and much more aid," Lammy wrote.
