Vance and Lammy set to meet – what they agree on and what they do notpublished at 14:05 British Summer Time<\/p>\n

In Chevening House in England, US Vice-President JD Vance is about to meet the UK’s Foreign Secretary, David Lammy.<\/p>\n

The two men have both spoken out recently about the humanitarian situation in Gaza.<\/p>\n

They agree that Israel must open up aid deliveries.<\/p>\n

At the UN last month Lammy said \u201cchildren are starving, and Israel\u2019s drip feeding of aid has horrified the world\u201d.<\/p>\n

A day earlier Vance, at an event in Ohio, had said there were \u201creally heartbreaking cases. You\u2019ve got little kids who are clearly starving to death. Israel\u2019s got to do more to let that aid in\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, they differ on Israel\u2019s military actions and on what pressure it should face.<\/p>\n

Vance went on to say \u201cwe\u2019ve also got to wage war on Hamas so that those folks stop preventing food from coming into this territory\u201d. The UK has called for Israel to agree to a ceasefire.<\/p>\n

And the US does not support the UK\u2019s view that if Israel does not stop its Gaza operation then it is time to recognise a Palestinian state. The White House has said that would be to reward Hamas.<\/p>\n
