US: UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has told the UN General Assembly that the October 7 Hamas attack and continuing threats from Iran against Israel and Jewish people worldwide do not justify the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza or the West Bank. “The terrorist attack on Israel on 7th October 2023 was utterly horrific. I have condemned it in the strongest possible terms. We continue to condemn Hamas. And we stand with Israel in the face of the ongoing threats – including from Iran, against Israel and Jewish people around the world,” Burnham said. “But this does not justify the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza or the West Bank. Far too many people have died – including so many children. Far too little aid is getting in. And it has gone on for far too long.” Burnham added that Britain “will not stand by” as the suffering continues and the prospect of a two-state solution comes under threat.
