Ed Miliband: “We call out the evidence of war crimes in Gaza. We call out Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine.”

Accordingly, the UK has temporarily withdrawn a number of staff and families to ensure their safety and security.

Miliband described the escalating settler violence against Palestinians as “ethnic cleansing” perpetrated by “settler terrorists”, and said members of the Israeli military were “complicit”.

The UK Mission, Jerusalem is independent, operational, and will continue to deliver vital services and our work with the Palestinian people.
