Britain's Muslim and Jewish leaders urge followers to 'export peace' to Gaza [View all]

Press Association

Muslim and Jewish leaders in the UK have called for followers of both faiths to "export peace" to Gaza and stamp out racism.

The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) and the Board of Deputies of British Jews (BoD) issued a joint statement on Thursday morning, after Israel and Hamas agreed an open-ended truce.

Both sides have claimed victory following the recent conflict, which claimed the lives of 2,143 Palestinians, mostly civilians, as well 70 Israelis, all but six of them soldiers.
