British Foreign Secretary David Cameron and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock published a joint article in Britain's Sunday Times, in which they responded to the criticism that European and international sources are hurling at them due to the refusal by London and Berlin refusal to support calls for an immediate cease-fire.
