British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez met in London to sign a landmark agreement aimed at easing trade and travel between Spain and Gibraltar. This deal, which follows years of negotiations after Britain left the European Union, will remove physical barriers, checks, and controls on the movement of people and goods across the Gibraltar-Spain border. The leaders highlighted the close ties between their countries and expressed optimism about resolving longstanding issues related to Gibraltar, a territory that has been a point of contention since the early eighteenth century. In addition to the Gibraltar agreement, Starmer and Sanchez discussed the ongoing conflict in Gaza, with both expressing concern over the humanitarian situation.
