Starmer emphasized the need for restraint and humility, stating: 'The region cannot endure another year of this. Civilians on all sides have suffered too much.' He called for all sides to step back from the brink, highlighting the urgent need for peace.
Describing Iran's missile attacks as an act of aggression, Starmer remarked: 'It was not a defensive action by Iran, it was in response to the death of a terrorist leader.' He condemned the violence that has forced tens of thousands to flee.
Reflecting on the impact of the 7 October attack, Starmer stated: 'Nobody in this house can truly imagine what it feels like to cower under the bodies of your friends... it is beyond our comprehension, and with that should come a humility.'
Regarding widespread suffering in the Middle East, he said: 'Over 41,000 Palestinians have been killed... facing disease, starvation, desperation... It is a living nightmare and it must end.' This underscores the urgent humanitarian crisis.
