Starmer launches push for Israel-Gaza peace initiative based on path to Good Friday Agreement
Sir Keir Starmer is pushing ahead with a major Middle East peace initiative to bring a long-term solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict based on his experience in Northern Ireland.
The Independent has learned that Downing Street and the Foreign Office held meetings last week with figures behind an international fund for Israeli-Palestinian peace.
It follows a pledge made by the prime minister in December at the annual Labour Friends of Israel lunch that the UK would lead the G7 nations’ efforts with the fund to bring long-term peace to the Middle East.
