Miliband Tells Labour Conference Palestinian Campaigners ‘Were Right’
- On Monday, British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband told Labour Party conference delegates in Liverpool that those outraged by the plight of Palestinians "were right," defending the government's harder line toward Israel.
- Miliband framed the remarks as part of a "reset" under Prime Minister Andy Burnham, addressing intra-party pressure that criticized the previous Labour leadership's stance on Gaza and the Judea-Samaria Region.
- Citing "evidence of war crimes in Gaza," the Foreign Secretary described conditions under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government as "a stain on the conscience of the world" and labeled Israel's presence in the West Bank an "illegal occupation."
- Israel rejected Britain's previously announced ban on imports from West Bank settlements, restricting British activity and closing the consulate in Jerusalem in response to the policy.
- Some British Jewish communal leaders warned the measures could blur the line between policy criticism and hostility toward Jews, though Miliband rejected that charge, maintaining Britain still supports a "secure Israel and a secure Palestine.
