The Guardian reported that a British official has reaffirmed commitment to a two-state solution in the Middle East, while distinguishing between criticism of Israeli government policy and views toward the Israeli population. The official characterized sanctions as targeted at what are described as unacceptable policies and their consequences for Palestinians, rather than directed at Israeli citizens broadly.
The statement comes amid ongoing debate over Britain's position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict a decade after the country's vote to leave the European Union. The official warned of risks to Britain's role and standing in an increasingly difficult international environment.
