Britain believes its experience in Northern Ireland could help achieve
a lasting ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Prime Minister Keir Starmer
says the U.K. is ready to play a "key role" in ensuring Hamas disarms.
Experts note similarities but also major differences between Northern
Ireland's conflict and the war in Gaza. Disarmament of the Irish
Republican Army required patience and progress toward a political
settlement. The 1998 Good Friday peace accord in Northern Ireland was
more explicit than the proposal by U.S. President Donald Trump for
Gaza.

aggression from the other. Afghanistan denies harboring militants who
carry out attacks in border areas. Pakistan is grappling with

center is crucial for generating and distributing China's standard
