In an interview with Al Jazeera from the Jordanian capital, UK Development Minister Anneliese Dodds emphasized the urgent need to halt the ongoing violence in Gaza. She highlighted the UK government's commitment to international humanitarian law and its efforts to stop arms exports to Israel that could exacerbate the conflict. Dodds stressed the importance of an immediate ceasefire, the return of hostages, and a significant increase in humanitarian aid to Gaza. She also pointed to the broader need for de-escalation in the region and reaffirmed the UK's support for a two-state solution as the path to long-term peace and stability.

Anneliese Dodds sat with Al Jazeera's Zein Basravi in Amman, Jordan for an in-depth interview.

    This is not the first time people from GB calling for ceasefire. Rights after, Mr. Secretaryā€™s podium speech on 16th Feb, another topic whatsoever, It was a call for ā€œceasefireā€ too! Itā€™s essential to differentiate between dawn and sunrise.
