"Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has praised US President Donald Trump's leadership in the Gaza peace talks, claiming the deal "would not have happened" without him. On Wednesday, Trump announced Israel and Hamas had agreed to the first phase of his 20-point peace plan, in a major step towards a permanent end to their war. It comes two years and two days after the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others taken hostage."
"Sir Keir said the UK "played an important part behind the scenes" and had seen Trump's efforts on securing "a real breakthrough" in the negotiations. Speaking at a press conference on a visit to Mumbai, he added: "I want to be really clear about that and I say that from the informed position of the UK having played a part behind the scenes in this with the US and with the mediators.""
