UK’s PM Andy Burnham says support for a two-state solution must be backed by action.
– “Britain has to stand for fairness against injustice. Where people are being bullied out of their homes, intimidated, we will always stand with the underdog and take what action we can to support them,” Burnham told British lawmakers.
– His comments come after the UK announced a ban on the import of all goods produced by illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, marking the country’s most significant policy since London’s historic recognition of Palestinian statehood last year.
– Israel announced four “counter measures”, including banning 12 British MPs from entering Israel and announcing the closure of the British consulate in Jerusalem.
