The new direction about the Middle East for Britain’s foreign policy met with US President Donald Trump in Scotland, British Prime Minister Kir Karmer.
A day later, on 29 July, Strander interrupted his cabinet minister’s summer break for an emergency meeting, after which a policy turnaround was presented in London.
In a statementThe leader of the Center-Left Labor Party, Strandmer, said the UK could recognize Palestine as a state as a state, as September of September UNSREL’s government proponents fulfill certain conditions, including a ceasefire, not the West Bank occupied for anxing and a long-term peace process.
Britain believes that “the statehood is an unfit rights of the Palestinian people,” said Strandmer. His government is using the recognition of a Palestinian state as a means of political pressure to carry forward the so -called two state solutions.
So far, Britain has delayed its recognition of a Palestinian state due to its historical responsibility of the country. Between 1920 and 1948, Britain Palestine had administrative power, earlier part of the Ottoman Empire.
In 1917, the British government released a statement-Balfor Declaration, named Effer-Bitish External Arthur Balfor, stated that it supported the idea of “National Ghar for Jewish people” in Palestine. It was announced that the rights of the Arab majority population were considered there and the step proceeded to promote violence between local billions, immigrant Jews and British administration.
Two years after Israel’s Fire Minister David Ben-Gurian, Britain declared the establishment of the state of Israel, recognizing the country. But when it could come to recognize Palestine as a state, the UK regularly stated that it is to be a part of a peace deal. What this strategic: Britain did not want to endanger its relations with America or Israel.
But this historical situation has once come under high pressure. The ongoing struggle in Gaza-Fighting began after the attack on Israel by Gaza-based terrorist group Hamas in October 2023, resulting in deaths of about 1,200 people and 251-hus abducted as serious internal divisions in Britain.
In cities such as London, Manchester and Glasgow, protesters regularly carry the streets in large performances to eliminate the current conflict and Israeli occupation.
Labor party supporters favor Palestinian state
Thesis popular protests are supported by many local trade unions as well as left-wet political organizations, Palestine finds solidarity campaign and stop the war group (later opposes European battle in Ukraine).
Former Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbin has therefore called upon Israel to end arms delivery. In late July, Corbin announced that he was starting his own political party “to take to rich and powerful.” Corbin was suspended from the Labor Party in 2020, as he said that under his leadership a report inside the party was “exaggerated due to political reasons” with political reasons by our opponents inside and outside the party for many “political reasons”. ,
according to a YouGov Survey On July 24–25, about two-thirds of labor pro-labor agrees with the UK government’s decision to recognize Palestine. Among the general public, yougov pole found that 45% think this is a good idea.
In the British Parliament, 221 members have signed a letter for the recognition of Palestine. The signators were members of the Labor Party. In Strandmer’s cabinet, the minister has pushed so much in this direction.
The strandmar appears to be given under pressure, at least partial. But he resumed the UK’s support for Israel and demanded Hamas in a government statement on Tuesday. “We have been unqualified in our possession of Toon Bad attacks, and our support for the state of Israel for self -defense. Hamas must immediately release all the hostages, signing an immediate ceasefire. […] And committed to disintegration. ,
However, however, he was important for the Israeli government’s military aggressive and its policies in Gaza. He said, “Now, in Gaza, due to a terrible failure of assistance, we see hungry children, children are very weak to stand, images that will be with us for life. There should be sadness,” he told reporters.
Agencies warned of starvation in Gaza
While the United Nations and major aid agencies have repeatedly warned of increasing risk of starvation in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted that there is no hungry in the enclave.
The most recent data of health officials in Gaza shows that more than 60,000 people have died in Gaza as a result of Israeli military aggressive. About half of the dead were women and children.
Gaza health officials are controlled by Hamas, which organizes the enclave. However, the death toll is widely considered reliable, including the Israeli army, which is used in its own briefing. Israel has admitted international journalist entry into Gaza at the beginning of Israel’s victory, which means that DW has not bewaved to verify the death of great. In many recent studies, it is suggested that it can actually be an undercount.
The Strandmer’s decision to recognize Palestine may be a response to the fact that France plans to do so during the United Nations General Assembly in early September. As French President Emmanuel Macron explained in Paris later last week, France wants to revive a peace process there and puts international weight behind the two-state solution.
Trump says Strander ‘Award Hamas’
Unlike Macron, however, the strander is only a danger of recognition if Israel fails to move towards a ceasefire. Observers have argued that it is a balanced function for the UK, taking some moral stands and caution of relations with the US.
Trump said that he and Strandmer did not actually discuss a Palestinian kingdom in Scotland. Reacting to Starier’s announcement on Tuesday, Trump said, “I am not going to take a position, I have no objection to taking any situation.” But later, during his flight in the US, Trump told reporters that Starier “was rewarding Hamas.”
Netanyahu of Israel has designed Strander’s plan as “appeasement of jihadi terrorists”.
Currently, 147 out of 193 unrelated states recognize Palestine as a state. However, what matters as a state is still disputed with various methods and pre -expectations used to identify the country. Nevertheless, many conditions that are usually required for a working position are not currently placed for Palestine. Including the boundaries and security control and clearly defined area, including an integrated government.
In the statement, announcing the change of his government, Strander stressed that the Hamas group should “accept that they would not play a role in Gaza’s government” in the future.
