UK PM Acknowledges Gaza Response Delay
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham focused on Britain's delayed response to the crisis in Gaza, expressing concern over the ongoing suffering of the Palestinians and describing it as "a wound on the conscience of the world." He confirmed that his country has taken steps such as banning trade with Israeli settlements established on Palestinian land, to support a two-state solution and in protest against Israeli settlement expansion. Over the past four years, this expansion has approved the construction of 104 new settlements, with intentions for further growth, threatening the prospects of achieving this solution. He pointed out that since the beginning of the year, there have been about 1,500 settler attacks on Palestinians, and the situation is worsening, with ongoing killings of Palestinians and restrictions on aid entering Gaza, which has been severely devastated by Israeli aggression since the escalation of the conflict on October 8, 2023. This conflict has resulted in over 73,000 deaths and more than 174,000 injuries. Additionally, Britain and other countries have announced bans on trade with settlements and have decided to provide additional humanitarian aid to Gaza, calling for a change in Israeli policies.
