ODN

Sir Keir Starmer says the situation in Gaza is "horrifying" and warns of a potential man-made famine. Responding to a question from Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey during today’s Prime Minister’s Questions, the PM also told MPs he is working on a peace plan with international partners to secure the release of hostages and said Sir Ed Davey could have raised the issue himself at the upcoming state banquet with President Trump, had he not declined the invitation.

00:00It is horrifying. We're looking at a man-made famine on top of everything else and that is why

00:06we're expending so much of our time with partners seeking to bring about a ceasefire, to get

00:13humanitarian aid in at pace, to get the hostages out and of course to put forward a peace plan

00:20that can actually take us to a two-stage solution. And of course I'll talk to all international

00:24leaders about that. I would gently say to him that if he hadn't refused the invite

00:29to the State Bank, he could be there two weeks on Tuesday and speak to President Trump himself

00:37and I'm surprised it's not an act of leadership to pass up that opportunity.
