British Foreign Secretary David Lammy expressed shock at the condition of the hostages as seen in the recent videos of Rom Breslavsky and Avitar David. On his X account, he wrote that "the images displayed for propaganda purposes are sickening. All hostages must be released unconditionally." Lammy added: "Hamas must disarm and have no control over Gaza. We are working with partners on a long-term solution and peace plan. This must begin with an immediate ceasefire that releases the hostages and lifts inhumane aid restrictions."
