    Miliband speaks of a Middle East policy shift - so it's time to pick a side (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband’s words, in his speech to the Labour Party conference in Liverpool on Monday, were striking. Gaza is a “stain on the conscience of the world”, he said, adding that those who protested at the Labour government’s support for Israel “were right”. Clearly, this is a significant rhetorical departure from the Starmer era, when Labour had to be dragged kicking and screaming into making even the most tepid criticisms of Israel. In his address to conference delegates

    Dozens of Israeli settlers rampaged through villages in the occupied West Bank overnight into Tuesday, attacking Palestinians and setting fire to homes and cars. Around 100 settlers raided Jalud, south of Nablus, shortly after midnight on Monday, targeting the homes of the Toubasi family.

    UK considers military support for Saudis against Houthis, report says (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The British government is reportedly considering helping Saudi Arabia against the Houthis in Yemen after the kingdom asked it for diplomatic and military support. Saudi Arabia asked Andy Burnham's government for operational support to help the Saudi military repel the Iran-aligned group's push south along Yemen's Red Sea coast toward the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and to defend against Houthi strikes, according to Bloomberg. Ansar Allah, known as the Houthis, took over stretches of Yemen’s coast near

    'Symbolic' UK sanctions on Israel aim to avoid Washington's wrath (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Prime Minister Andy Burnham arrived in Downing Street promising to deliver change - and a break with the political and economic settlement that has prevailed in Britain since the late 1970s. That necessarily implied an indictment of his predecessor, Keir Starmer. Starmer himself came to power promising change, failed to deliver it, and ultimately paid with his political career.
