UK PM: 'We hesitated to act against Israel for fear of being accused of anti-Israelism'

|
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham addressed the sanctions his country imposed on settlements, writing on X that "for far too long, we hesitated to act for fear of being accused of anti-Israelism." According to him, the measures announced by London are not directed against Israeli citizens, but against "the unacceptable policies of the current Israeli government." Burnham added that "the suffering of the Palestinian people is a stain on the world's conscience," and that he will not stand by while the suffering in Gaza continues and the possibility of a two-state solution erodes. At the same time, he emphasized that he continues to condemn the October 7 massacre and Hamas, and that "holding British Jews accountable for the actions of Netanyahu's government is antisemitism, plain and simple."
