British Prime Minister Keir Starmer caused a stir when he mistakenly called for Palestinian armed group Hamas to release “sausages” instead of hostages during a speech at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool. The humorous gaffe led to some speculation online, with users joking that Starmer must have been hungry or thinking about breakfast.
Despite the slip-up, Starmer reiterated the British government’s support for a two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, emphasizing the need for a recognized Palestinian state alongside a safe and secure Israel.
The incident added a light-hearted moment to a serious issue, as tensions persist in the region following a deadly incursion by Hamas into Israel. The conflict has resulted in numerous casualties and hostages, sparking international concern.
While the situation remains complex and volatile, Starmer’s unintentional “sausages” comment provided a moment of levity in an otherwise somber discussion about the ongoing crisis.
