The British government called on Iran and its allies today,Monday, to refrain from launching attacks that could escalate regional tensions, affirming that it is working with all parties to prevent escalation in the Middle East.

The British government stated in a statement: "We will spare no effort to ease tensions and find a way towards stability in Gaza," according to the "Al Jazeera" news network.

In this context, the leaders of France, Germany, and Britain welcomed the tireless efforts of the mediators to reach a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, emphasizing the need for "the fighting to end now and for all Israeli detainees to be released."

The risks of escalation to a wider war in the Middle East have increased after the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas in Iran, and Fouad Shukr, a prominent military commander in Hezbollah in Beirut, which raised threats of retaliation against Israel.
