UK's Starmer Calls on Israel and Hezbollah to 'Stop the Violence'

"I call on #Israel and #Hezbollah. Stop the violence. Step back from the brink. We need to see an immediate cease-fire to provide space for a diplomatic settlement," #UK PM Keir #Starmer says at the #UNGA.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer dined with Donald #Trump for two hours as he sought to move past previous criticism of the former president to burnish personal relations ahead of a #US election that may return him to power.

The meal at Trump Tower in New York capped off a two-day visit by the new premier to attend the United Nations General Assembly. The two men discussed the longstanding friendship between their two nations and the importance of maintaining an enduring partnership, according to Starmer’s office.

With UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy also in attendance, there was potential for awkwardness given both he and Starmer had criticized Trump while their left-leaning #Labour Party was in opposition. Now in government, and with a tight presidential race between Trump and Vice President Kamala #Harris on the other side of the Atlantic, they face the prospect of having to work closely with him.
