British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband addressed critics of Labour's policy on Palestine during his first speech in his role at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool. The foreign secretary told those moved and outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people that they were right, emphasizing that the UK's foreign policy had been reset under the leadership of Andy Burnham, who replaced Keir Starmer as prime minister.
Miliband outlined the new approach to foreign policy, stating that the UK would work with like-minded countries to build coalitions on significant global issues. He declared that the government called out ethnic cleansing by settler terrorists in the West Bank and highlighted evidence of war crimes in Gaza. Miliband also emphasized that Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine was being addressed and that words were being matched with actions.
