The delicate politics behind the UK’s move on Palestine

Sir Kir Stmper is familiar with the predecessor of Emily Demari.

In 15 months when he was taken hostage in Gaza, the Prime Minister mentioned him several times while talking about the war, including to describe the phone call held with his British mother Mandy when he did not know if Emily was still alive.

Therefore, it would not be doubt that unpleasant, at least to say, to find the Prime Minister himself At the end Fast criticism from Emily today.

Focusing on the announcement of Sir Kir, he was ready to recognize a Palestinian kingdom in September, Ms. Dumri accused him of “moral failure”.

He said that he took the risk of “rewarding terror” and “prolonging the struggle”.

His intervention made a statement from representatives of 10 hostages who are being held or held in Gaza, who are either British or have close ties with Britain.

He said that he did not take any position on the “comprehensive politics” of the war, but he was worried that the new position of Britain would remove the encouragement for Hamas to sign a ceasefire and to leave the remaining hostages, as it can now reduce the recognition of a Palestinian state.

The concern of hostage families is based on one of the prevailing interpretations of what the Prime Minister said at Downing Street after Tuesday’s emergency cabinet meeting.

Namely, Palestine’s recognition of Britain will only be determined by whether Israel fulfilled various conditions in the weeks intervene: agreeing to a ceasefire, making it clear that it would not anx the West Bank, take “solid steps” to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and will be committed to a long -term peace process.

Nevertheless, the government sources are pointing to another element of the Prime Minister’s statement on Tuesday.

“Our message to Hamas terrorists is unchanged and uneven,” he said. “They must immediately release all the hostages, sign up for a ceasefire, disproportionate and admit that they will not play any role in Gaza’s government.

“We will assess in September how far the parties have completed these steps.”

Parties plural – this is to say, both Israel and Hamas.

This, the sources of the Downing Street argue, it shows whether the UK eventually moves forward with recognition, it will not only be based on the works of Israel but also on the people of Hamas, and this means that their approach will not disintegrate Hamas to release the hostages.

But that situation has not been expressed continuously.

For example, speaking to the BBC today, Transport Secretary Heida Alexander said that “the ball is in the Israeli government’s court”.

Asked whether the recognition would happen even when Hamas is under Gaza’s control in September, he replied that only by speaking about the need for Israel to meet the terms of the government.

The bottom line is: I have not talked to any person with labor, it is expected that the government will do anything other than recognizing Palestine in September.

The government carried forward all uncertainty about the exact circumstances to reach there, and the mechanics of the evaluation process were carried forward by the government, the same is the importance of what Sir Keer said on Tuesday.

And this is a very important change in the UK’s diplomatic posture, both in separate stripes governments, and compared to this government, this government was saying a few days ago.

Sir Kir has long said that he wants to recognize a Palestinian kingdom, but only when it would contribute the biggest contribution to bring a two-state solution-which was generally, it was generally It is believed, after the end of this war.

The delicate politics involved in the changing situation is one of the reasons that the government has ended in a slightly firm situation today.

Politics was also undoubtedly involved in the government’s decision to change the curriculum.

Sir Keir’s own rhetoric, especially in relation to the human situation in Gaza, has been publicly strict for a while.

But the mood of the parliamentary labor party was moving fast.

By the beginning of this week, more than half of the Labor MPs who did not hold government positions signed a letter, urging the government to recognize Palestine.

The cabinet ministers were looking for ways to explain that they also agreed.

Some of the people in the government were concerned that when MPs return from their summer breaks in September, an opposition party would get a way to vote on the issue – and the stammer would have to climb down if they had not already done so.

Political gravity was always going to be effective before a long time. However, there is a risk that the government may fall between two feces.

There are some people, some of which are involved in the most vigor to identify Palestine, who argue that if the Palestinian state Palestinian people have an incestred right, then it should not be conditioned on the action taken by the Israeli government.

It is also a position taken by independents such as Liberal Democrats, Green Party and Jeremy Corbin.

On the other hand, there are people who argue that this is a politics of gesture, and the state should not be entertained until Hamas has released the hostages – even if the Palestinian kingdom will eventually be ruled by the British Authority, not Hamas.

This is the position of some in labor, although conservatives and improvements are more prominent of the UK.

Ultimately, above these, the change in the position of the government became unavoidable because in the middle of the Labor Party – those who have not necessarily always vocal on the issue, and usually support Sir Kir’s decision – wanted a change. They are happy today.

This delicate political peace is based on a universal perception that all this is only one staging post for Palestine’s unavoidable recognition in a few weeks.
