British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband addressed critics of Labour's policy on Palestine during his address to the Labour conference in Liverpool. The foreign secretary assured those moved and outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people that they were heard and right. Miliband declared that the UK's foreign policy has been reset under Andy Burnham's leadership, with a call to action against ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine.
The government has banned Israeli settlement goods and imposed sanctions on settlements, disrupting supply lines of British finance, construction, and services for illegal settlements. Miliband emphasized the importance of solidarity and building coalitions on global issues, echoing the Carney Doctrine. He pledged to ban the import of goods from illegal settlements and disrupt supply lines.
Miliband denounced Russia's invasion of Ukraine and vowed to stand with the people of Ukraine until they prevail.
