UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock have issued a joint call for a “sustainable ceasefire” in Gaza.
In an op-ed published in the Sunday Times on Sunday, Cameron and Baerbock said that “too many civilians have been killed” in Gaza and the war “cannot drag on and on”.
“Israel has the right to defend itself but, in doing so, it must abide by international humanitarian law,” Cameron and Baerbock said.
“Israel will not win this war if its operations destroy the prospect of peaceful co-existence with Palestinians. They have a right to eliminate the threat posed by Hamas. But too many civilians have been killed.”
However, the top diplomats stopped short of calling for an immediate ceasefire.
“Our goal cannot simply be an end to fighting today. It must be peace lasting for days, years, generations,” they said. “We therefore support a ceasefire, but only if it is sustainable.”
Cameron and Baerbock’s comments mark a significant shift in tone by the UK and German governments, which have strongly backed Israel’s right to respond to Hamas’s October 7 attacks on the country.
Al Jazeera’s Sonia Gallego is in London to talk more about this.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸
If Israel ever wanted peace, it would have never voted in people like Netanyahu and have a government with members such of the likes of; Ben -Gvir and Tzipi Hotovely.
Israelis go on about Palestinians voting for Humus, but what about them voting for the government thats in place now? If Israel sincerely wants peace, it needs to start with people and a government who want peace for themselves and Palestinians!
Exactly peace and love are reciprocal
The problem is Palestinians keep taking peace for granted and repeatedly attack Israel.
Lets see if Europ is telling thrue. PALESTINE has the RIGTH to DEFEND his TERRITORY AGAINST INVASOR. JWES GO OUT FROM MEADLE WEST NOW GO BACK EUROPA EUA
Just because Yemen has started attacking Ships to Isreal.They are calling for cease fire.Thank You Yemenis
UK has ‘no plans’ to stop arms sales to Israel despite civilian deaths
Human rights groups say Britain is ignoring own rules on arms exports after hundreds of Palestinians killed.
Please united Muslim countries save Palestine Israel and america is terrorists why Arab is silent please united
Natenyahu act like a God, he want everything on their favour, And how can do self defense by going to others territory, it’s not abnormal ?
Israel is a terrorism country, who is supported to Israel they’re also terrorist.
Free Palestine.
PARABÉNS HAMAS PELA RESISTÊNCIA ❗
those weird brazilians, always talking about parabens
Resistance 😂
PARABÉNS ALL JAZIRA POR MOSTRAR A VERDADE DOS MONSTROS ISRAELENSES JUDEUS GRILEIROS BANDIDOS LADRÕES DE TERRAS DO ESTADO PALESTINO ❗
George Orwell. Wasn’t wrong. Just imagine that.
Blinken got to go bad man
End the colonial apartheid regime, how about that?…
What a logic Mr kamroon fighting for his land became terrorist
Why was the “holocaust” so bad if all the “moral” countries use genocide as a tactic and bargaining chip.
I hope that at the end of this conflict, and the mourning is over , Al Jazeera gets a Nobel Peace Prize for its coverage of Gaza during it’s invasion, for its defiant pursuit of the truth and for their murdered journalists.
Al Jazeera has the burden of the world on its shoulders as the only media outlet inside the strip, it could halt and save themselves but no!
As a Brit, I am awe struck by your bravery
❤
Al Jazeera has the right to defend itself for it’s news coverage.
Amazing & Brave journalism they put the MSM 2shame ☮️
No immediate ceasefire, only a sustainable one … Meaning, a ceasefire in-line with UK’s & Germany’s SUSTAINABLE WEAPON sale PROFITS?
UK is wholly and solly responsible for palestine genocide. Israel is UK product they give zionists some land make their zionists country , why Palestine paying for western crimes price
Justice and freedom for the Palestinian people !
Mr. Biden sir became burden now 😭😂
ISRAEL IS A THARET TO HUMANITY S AND ISRAEL IS A TERRIORIST STATE
At least 2FM HAVE HEART WE SUPPORT
Palestinians have the right to have a independent state free Palestine with powerful military Force to defend itself and isreali public have the right to depend its captives from IDF bombings and its own prime minister.
What peace?? No peace with terrorists
FM OF UK. GERMANY NOT TOO MANY ABOUT20000 PALESTINIAN HAVE BEEN KILLED IN GAZA ZENOCIDE WAR
The world can compare which is cruel than others between democracy Vs Autocracy through Gara war.
This people are committing to eradicate over all Palestinians but saying something else to gain credibility in the world.
More of the same insane from the west
Israel doesn’t care about
It is unfortunate that the Israeli government’s teaching its citizens that: “God orders them to kill all children of Amalek.” .. The truly God-fearing citizens of Israel should not believe in the false propaganda spread by its government to hate and murder Palestinians. All children are God’s children. All humans are equal, have value, and a purpose – in the eyes of the Lord. It is practicing good sense to “Love God first,” and to “Love your neighbor as you love yourself,” just as Jesus taught us.
Shame on Biden for supporting killing of childrens,
Recognise the Palestinian state. Sustainable peace cannot and SHOULD not be achieved while occupation persists. An occupier has no right to security because the occupied retains the right to forcibly resist.
That’s great, but who is going to enforce it?
ISRAEL DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF.
According to the UN Charter, Article 51, paragraph 139, Israel does not have the right of self-defense from attacks emanating from a territory it occupies and is in effective control of.
The UK and Germany finally *kind of * coming around.
Lip service by Germany though. They need to stop sending weapons to Israel that are responsible for the carnage that we are seeing in Gaza
its a trick for us to stop protesting or becoming pro palestane
God Bless Israel..More power to Jews .Jews are the best of creatures .
☝️
The attitude of germany and uk is disgusting🤢🤮… for a country when it was Time to do it last week didnt do it they are abstain!!!! Everything is destroy now.. israel have gone tooo farrr tooo much civils dead gaza have been partly razed!!! A Shame!!!for europ and the usa a Shame Where is their concept of democracy??!!
We want a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
Send the pair of them to Gaza where they can speak directly to HAMAS.
Как всегда британский запашок даже вонь
People needs peace urgently
Hypocrites
Tell them they’re late your true face is revealed nobody will believe you so stop lying and pretending being humains it doesn’t suit you you’re just criminals more than Israël government
Lies they both voted against it
As long as America, Germany, England and France set standards regarding human rights, there will be no peace in the world, these countries are the real terrorists.
Things are not as they appear. HS is far stronger and doing more damage to IDF forces than is reported
Watch and Learn
Israel+usa+eu+gb=💩
No ceasefire
Then perhaps both countries should have voted for that. Pair of cnuts.
The bloodthirsty Baerbock calling for a cease fire is almost unbelievable
Exactly!! They’re just giving lip service, for the sake of appeasement to widespread dissent rising among the populations.
I know cameron doesnt mean it but at least he has said something. Starmer the psychopath still hasnt said anything about a ceasefire
There can be no ceasefire. Hamas won’t allow it.
neither the EU nor the US want a ceasefire… they just spitting horse 💩
Free Pelistine
Uk and Germany has taken toooooo looooong to see the human cost of Palestinians.
If this is football, they waiting for penalty time.😂😂😅
Well, in football you will get more scores.
In war, you will more death bodies everywhere. So.. should they take a long time for saving human lives? If they really care about Palestinians lives? Or.. they saved their images’s country in World’s🌏 eyes?👀
Well, at least before it’s too late..😬
Only God knows.🤔
wow, foreign minister baerbock from the german GREEN PARTY had to hide behind david cameron to dare to even mention a ceasefire as an aspiration! 🤡👎
Pick.up.the phone and stop it.
The American people must be aware that their country is infiltrated, and its decisions and wealth are controlled by a small faction of Zionists for the benefit of Israel, by enticing or intimidating all officials in the American administration, meaning an occupied country, and it is forbidden to rescue them or speak ill of them, and whoever does that will be marginalized or accused of (anti-Semitism).
Israel Apartheid State.
Love humanity and reject apartheid Israel.
Please Freedom and Justice for Palestinians 🇦🇪
Britain America n germany are cowards. They lie all the time.
Some western politicians are still ignorant to the FACT that the problem is not just Hamas but the anti-Israeli mindset of Palestinians.
UK, US and Germany are partners in crime, now they should come forward for Palestinians support , they can not reverse the damage already inflicted on Palestinians but they can stop being evil now.
Ishreal tells the gulf that it want to help it develop and civilised.
When they themselves are not civilised and mannerless.
So basically UK and Germany are calling for a ceasefire while their “mercenaries” are fighting on ground on behalf of Israel?
Uk imposing strict rule against immigrant in their country.
And on other side they support self defence for illegal immigrant in other country.
Well, well, well, look who hypocritically are backing down.
biden and blinken bad man evils…
First for the palestian people and for the Jewish people
Free Gaza ✊
Like the ceasefire and humanitarian aid Germany gave to Russia during WW2.
These sustainable speakers have only one goal.
This happens when you give power to jews.
👍👍👍👍👍👍🙂
Oh so the town has changed because it is Isreal soldiers it never changed when 20,000 Palestinians where killed
They should shut up unless they are sending troops to get hamas out
Israel does NOT have the right to occupy people. The self-defense trope is not applicable. Israelis are to blame for any harm that comes to them while oppressing and occupying the Palestinians
This is not enough. They must stop the fire entirely and free Palestine🇵🇸!
Germany talking ceasefire while their export of weapons to Israel surge would be funny if it wasn’t tragic
HOW MUCH LONGER WILL HE SAY THEY ARE JUST DEFENDING THERE SELVES 🤢🤢🤢
UK and US are equally responsible for genocide on Palestinian people.Its their money and weapons being used to kill innocent civilians in GAZA.Both US,UK and ISRAEL are all TERRORIST STATES.
Well done 👏
Long term can’t see UK or US helping Palestinians. Currently they allow Israel to do what they have always done
Stronger diplomatic and political talks are needed. Israel is acting with impunity. Who starves 2 million people without consequence
Does the international community want Gaza to look like the Warsaw Ghetto??? No. Come on. Israel are starving two million people
israHell.
O que é amaleque ❓
The people in Gaza, innocent men, women and children are running out of time. I see deliberate intent to commit genocide and any government that supports that has either lost their minds or sold their souls some time ago.
Do not be selective in your approach calling Israel to ceasefire. Why not calling Russia to cease fire war on Ukraine
Se o Mundo quiser pode sim, libertar a Palestina desse sofrimento! “A vontade move o mundo” Não dá mais pra ver essa carnificina!
Wars Were Started by Russia and Hamas! If We hate others more than we love Our Own Childres, We Will All Perish!
Israel’s Options: Defend or Perish! When these wars expand, Russia, Hamas and Supporters Will Own All War Deaths!

Some people have so little, while others have so much! Choosing to not share with others, is not the Religious Way 🙁
Now it’s only America and israel by themselves. Hopefully Biden will come to his senses
How could war mongers ever talk peace?
This is Sad 😞
All British colonial BS! Just words! While slyly shipping billions of military hardware and ordinances to Israel.
It gives Hope to the world on a daily basis!
The world IS watching and recording. Cameron, Blinken and others even look absolutely guilty of their complicity in the genocide. Let these American and British war criminals be shamed for the rest of their lives, and hopefully punished. What has the UK done to halt the crimes committed by Israel against Palestinians in Gaza and The West Bank, during occupation? Cameron has probably never spent of his life threatened, probably barely missed a meal, just a privileged spoilt life. We need a Foreign Minister with experience, understanding, compassion and decency. Never so ashamed to be British!
More buzzwords from the elite who have nothing to lose at all. Make them a part of the real world. Make then notice pain, and suddenly worda with meaning will fall from thir lips like tears from the famalies in Palestine.
