The government of the United Kingdom has welcomed Hamas’ acceptance of a US-brokered peace plan for Gaza, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer describing the move as a major breakthrough that has brought the region “closer to peace than ever before.”
In a statement released on Friday, 3 October 2025, the new British leader sendorsed the diplomatic efforts of former US President Donald J. Trump, asserting that the agreement presents a critical opportunity to end the bloody conflict.
“The UK, alongside our partners, stands ready to support further negotiations and to work towards sustainable peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike,” Starmer stated, positioning Britain to play an active role in the next stages of the process.
The Prime Minister’s statement outlined the immediate benefits he believes the deal can unlock, highlighting the potential for a permanent cessation of hostilities, the safe return of all hostages held in Gaza, and the urgent delivery of life-saving humanitarian aid to civilians in desperate need.
“We call on all sides to implement the agreement without delay,” the statement urged, signalling a clear expectation for swift and committed action from both Hamas and Israel to translate the agreement on paper into tangible reality on the ground.
