The United Kingdom has proposed a five-point plan that they believe will end the war between Israel and Hamas.

Details: British Foreign Secretary David Cameron discussed the initiative with Israeli and Palestinian leaders during his tour of the region.
Cameron called for an “immediate pause in hostilities.”
A cessation of fighting will ultimately lead to the release of hostages in Gaza and then to negotiations for a permanent ceasefire, said the British official, who also said: “What we’re trying to do is reinforce the idea that once you have this pause, you have to work hard to turn it into a lasting ceasefire, and really focus on realistic and achievable things that can make the ceasefire permanent and sustainable.”
As the FT notes, the UK has already shared this plan with Arab, American and European governments.
However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ruled out any move towards creating a Palestinian state or cooperation with the Palestinian Authority, and rejected any permanent ceasefire as part of the hostage release agreement.
