British PM Burnham says Labour will be ‘principled’ in securing two-state solution

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham declared on Tuesday that his Labour party remains committed to pursuing a two-state solution for the Israel-Palestine conflict during his inaugural address at the Labour conference in Liverpool. Drawing a connection to his predecessor, Burnham cited the foreign secretary's recent remarks, stating, "We will be principled in our leadership in securing a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine, as Ed Miliband has shown."

The statement came after Miliband's speech on Monday, in which he labeled the plight of Palestinians "a stain on the conscience of the world." Burnham further emphasized the UK's stance, asserting that the country would "stand up to threats wherever they come from, whether Russia, Iran, or anywhere across the world."
