Keir Starmer tells Israel to stop strikes on Lebanon after US-Iran ceasefire deal - 'They're wrong!'

Sir Keir Starmer has declared Israeli military action against Lebanon "wrong" and that it must cease during his Middle East tour.

When asked directly whether Israel was wrong to conduct strikes in Lebanon, Sir Keir responded unequivocally: "Yes, that shouldn't be happening. That should stop - that's my strong view".


The Prime Minister acknowledged uncertainty over whether the attacks constitute a breach of the US-Iran ceasefire agreement, stating it was "hard to say" given limited access to the full details.

However, he framed his opposition as a matter of principle rather than legal technicality when speaking on ITV's Talking Politics podcast.
