London: We will not stand idly by as the two-state solution is undermined

London – Agencies: Jocelyn Walr, the UK government’s spokesperson for the Middle East and North Africa, said that London “will not stand by and watch the clear undermining of the two-state solution,” emphasizing that Britain’s recent measures target the policies of the Israeli government, not the Israeli people. In an interview with Sky News, Walr stated that the British position considers the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories “illegal,” stressing that settler violence in the West Bank represents a moral issue that should have been addressed. She clarified that the current priority is to implement the package of measures announced by the British government, adding, “We want to see the implementation of Trump’s peace plan for Gaza.” Walr described Israel’s reaction to the British sanctions as “regrettable,” but affirmed London’s desire to maintain its relations, dialogue, and cooperation with the Israeli government. She said, “Effective diplomacy relies on candor, and that is what we have done.” British Foreign Secretary David Miliband announced on Tuesday a ban on the import of products from Israeli settlements established in the occupied Palestinian territories.
