Britain Rejects Israel's Postwar Plan In Gaza

JAKARTA - British Foreign Minister David Cameron said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plans for postwar Gaza "will not succeed."

"If you think about it from both sides, Israel needs to see that its security is guaranteed. Palestinians need to see the prospects of a Palestinian country so that they can live a dignified life," Cameron told reporters at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, where he addressed Ukraine at a General Assembly meeting.

"Both things are key, and if that's not in the plan then I'm not sure the plan will work," Cameron was quoted as saying by ANTARA from Anadolu, Saturday, February 24.

His remarks came after Netanyahu proposed to the Cabinet a plan for complete control of Israel's security was unlimited in Gaza, and the closure of UNRWA's body as part of its plans when the war in Gaza was over.

Cameron said a new political horizon is needed for the Palestinian people so they can see the way to a two-state solution.

"But we will need those in charge of October 7, namely Hamas leadership, to leave Gaza and we need to see the terror infrastructure being lifted," he added.

Asked about Britain's concerns that it might be "involved in Israel's war crimes against Gaza because of its assistance to Israel, Cameron said Britain has "one of the strictest systems" for arms exports anywhere in the world.

"And everything must happen given the international humanitarian legal position, which we regularly study and will continue to do," he added.
