Description:

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has paid tribute to US President Donald Trump for his "role in securing the landmark ceasefire and hostages deal in Gaza" during a call between the two leaders.

The conversation took place on Sunday, hours after Trump praised Sir Keir for having done a "very good job thus far" and said the pair had a "very good relationship".

The incoming Trump administration worked in close co-ordination with that of his predecessor, Joe Biden, over the deal, which was agreed between Israel and Hamas earlier this month.

The president welcomed the release of the recently freed British-Israeli hostage Emily Damari.
