According to the British Prime Minister's Office statement, the three countries' leaders welcomed the tireless work of Qatar, Egypt and the United States towards an agreement on a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages. The three leaders also affirmed that they have been working with all parties to prevent escalation and will spare no effort to reduce tensions and find stability.
