Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Sunday spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
He told Mr Abbas that recognition of Palestine as part of the peace process was the “undeniable right of Palestinians.”
And in a readout of the call with Mr Netanyahu, Downing Street said Sir Keir vowed to continue the UK’s “vital co-operation” with Israel against “malign threats.”
He also “set out the clear and urgent need for a ceasefire” in Gaza, “the return of hostages and an immediate increase in the volume of humanitarian aid reaching civilians.”
He added that it was “also important to ensure the long-term conditions for a two-State solution were in place, including ensuring the Palestinian Authority had the financial means to operate effectively.”
