peaking to a British broadcaster,
the British Foreign Secretary said that an alliance should also be formed to
defend the oppressed people of Palestine. He questioned whether there was any
courageous leader among Muslim countries who would wholeheartedly declare that
he would fight for Palestine until his last breath. He added that, ultimately,
Palestinians have Allah as their protector, but on the Day of Judgment, Islamic
leaders and the heads of their armed forces would certainly be questioned about
why they failed to help the oppressed despite having all the necessary
resources.
Speaking to a British broadcaster,
the British Foreign Secretary said that a two-state solution is essential for
the security and dignity of both Israelis and Palestinians. He said that such a
solution is extremely important for the security of the Middle East. He also
stated that, before imposing restrictions on Israeli goods, he had met with
British Jewish groups and Palestinian representatives.
Meanwhile, British Foreign
Secretary Ed Miliband said that the closure of the British
consulate in Israel would have negative consequences. Speaking to a British
broadcaster, Ed Miliband responded to Israel’s order to close the British
consulate in occupied East Jerusalem within 30 days.
He said that extremist settlers were
forcibly evicting Palestinians from their homes, while the Israeli government
continued to turn a blind eye to the displacement of Palestinians. The British
Foreign Secretary said that it was right to speak out against the situation and
that Britain could not remain silent or inactive. He stressed that it was
necessary for Britain to speak out against Israeli settlement activities.
Ed Miliband reiterated that a
two-state solution is essential for the security and dignity of both Israelis
and Palestinians and is critically important for the security of the Middle
East. He also said that, before imposing restrictions on Israeli goods, he had
held meetings with British Jewish groups and Palestinian representatives.
It is worth noting that British
Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband had announced restrictions on goods imported from
Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. He said that further sanctions
would also be imposed on individuals and organizations involved in the
expansion of settlements and violence against Palestinians.
