Master or PhD

Dear all,

I'm in real need of some advice.
I already hold a Master's Degree in Languages (English and Modern Hebrew) for International Communication and Cooperation which I earned in mid 2012 from Milan University. Since then I've worked both for an NGO and for a digital content agency in Italy so as to understand what could be a meaningful application of my studies. However, I feel like my "call" is a different one from this last work place. My final dissertation had allowed me to focus on research in the field of Middle Eastern Studies and Media coverage, I felt I had given my contribution with my work, and I've kept this interest for international politics alive. Now I'm considering whether taking another Master (abroad this time), either in International Relations or in Middle Eastern studies,because my aim is to land a job either in the diplomatic field or within international affair consulting so as to promote better and proactive cooperation and understanding among countries.
One question has been hunting me though: is another Master worth and could give me a clear advantage or is a PhD maybe more suitable?

Also, If a Master is a good option, is King's College (London) a highly valuable and reputable university in the field (applications at LSE are already closed) or is there a better uni for this subject? Since I'll be turning 28 in few months what would you suggest?

Thank you in advance for you advice.
