5. SOUNDBITE (English) Lord Tariq Mahmood Ahmad of Wimbledon, Minister for the Middle East, United Kingdom:
“Equally important is that we now see a real commitment for more countries towards the delivery of the two-state solution. It is our view, and I know it's a view shared by many that this conflict must not go on for a moment longer than necessary. And immediate pause is now necessary to get, as I've seen myself, the vital life-saving aid in and get the hostages out.”

“Immediate ceasefire now. This is crucial: humanitarian aid to innocent civilians. Release of hostages now and a serious talk on a political solution. That means serious talk on a two-state solution. The only guarantee for the security of Israelis and Palestinians is a Palestinian state.”
