UK Foreign Minister Denounces Netanyahu Government, Vows Tougher Action over Gaza
The government will ban imports from illegal settlements and cut financial and business ties that support settlement expansion, Miliband said.
- On Monday, September 28, UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced a tougher stance against Israeli settlements at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, calling actions in Gaza and the West Bank "a stain on the conscience of the world."
- Earlier this month, the UK government banned the import of all goods produced by illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, marking the most significant policy shift since London's recognition of Palestinian statehood last year.
- Miliband pledged to disrupt supply lines for British finance, British construction, and British services linked to settlements, condemning what he termed "settler terrorists" for "ethnic cleansing" and displacing families from their homes.
- Labour would oppose any efforts threatening the two-state solution, Miliband warned, arguing that threats Israel faces "cannot justify" the actions taken by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government.
- Under Prime Minister Andy Burnham's leadership, the ruling party has "reset its approach," Miliband said, emphasizing a "survivor's responsibility" to defend Labour values and deepen European partnerships.
