British PM: Our Gaza response was delayed
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham confirmed that his country was delayed in responding to the crisis in the Gaza Strip and that Palestinian suffering constitutes "a wound in the conscience of the world." He explained that Britain has banned trade with Israeli settlements established on occupied territories after a review, as part of its efforts to support a two-state solution, which faces threats due to settlement expansion. Since December 2022, Israel has approved the establishment of 104 new settlements, and incidents of violence between settlers and Palestinians have risen to 1,500 since the beginning of the year. He pointed out that the events of October 7, 2023, do not justify Israel’s actions in Gaza, and that the British government has imposed a set of humanitarian aid measures on the sector, while increasing pressure on Israel to change its course. Since the escalation began, the war has resulted in over 73,000 deaths, 174,000 injuries, and the destruction of about 90% of Gaza’s infrastructure.
