Labour has announced it will not take part in President Donald Trump’s signing ceremony for the Board of Peace in Gaza.
Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said the UK will not be participating given “concerns about President Putin being part of something which is talking about peace.”
She told BBC News: “We won’t be one of the signatories today, because this is about a legal treaty that raises much broader issues.
The Kremlin confirmed Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was studying the proposal to join the proposed Board of Peace and would reply in due course.
