Britain and Australia declared the need for an "immediate cessation of fighting" in Gaza on Friday, as diplomatic pressure built on Israel to ditch a planned ground assault on the southern city of Rafah.
After a meeting of Australian and UK foreign and defence ministers in Adelaide, the allies issued a statement that stressed the "urgency of an immediate cessation of fighting in Gaza to allow aid to flow and hostages to be released".
