LONDON: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer demanded a peace in Gaza and caution from all parties on Sunday, claiming that society relationships in Britain had been negatively impacted by the year-long Israel-Hamas issue.
In the Sunday Times, Starmer wrote in response to the celebration of the Palestinian militant team’s extraordinary assault on Israel on October 7 that sparked the battle,” The sparks gentle touchpapers in our own communities around at home.”
” Israel and the Middle East are not just indistinguishable from our nation’s history. They have a close relation with our multicultural society, according to Starmer, adding that “millions have community ties to the area.”
Israel has been bombarding the Gaza Strip relentlessly since the October 7 strike.
Jewish attacks on Hamas’s other Iranian-backed militant group Lebanon and Iranian nuclear missiles have been the focus of recent Jewish attacks in Lebanon.
While Starmer said the UK do” walk with Israel in the face of Iranian aggression”, he also cautioned that” a better future will not be won by traumatising, orphaning and displacing another generation”.
He continued,” The cost of social failure should be remembered by the celebration of the October 7 problems.” ” No protection may be found in greater destabilisation”.
The Hamas invasion resulted in the deaths of 1, 205 people, mainly residents, according to an AFP tally based on Jewish official statistics that include victims killed in prison.
Israel’s hostile military rude has killed at least 41, 870 citizens in Gaza, the majority of them citizens, according to numbers provided by the Hamas-run state’s health department and described as credible by the UN.
In the days leading up to the celebration of the attack, marches have taken place all over the world, including in London, where a pro-Palestinian show was mostly peaceful but 15 arrests have been made. Three were arrested after hostilities between the major march and counter-protesters.
Starmer criticized the increase of “vile anger” against Jewish and Muslim communities in the UK over the past month, saying that “our differences and diversity may bind us up more clearly than divide us.”
Religious leaders in the UK added that the celebration may serve as a chance for the public to dismiss “prejudice and hatred in all its forms” on Sunday.
In an open notice, the leaders of the Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, and Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, Chief Rabbi, Imam Qari Asim, wrote that they” stand united in our grief.”
In these trying times, we may also reject those who try to separate us, according to the combined letter.
” Anti-Jewish love and anti-Muslim love have no place in the UK today”.
