UK foreign secretary calls for restraint from Israel
James Cleverly says he has asked the Israeli military and government to respect international law and to preserve the lives of civilians in Gaza.
“Despite the incredibly difficult circumstances, I have called for discipline and professionalism and restraint from the Israeli military,” he told leaders at the Cairo Peace Summit.
The UK foreign secretary also noted how this war has been a divisive topic in societies and has also been challenging for him in his personal, professional and political life.
“I suspect that I am not alone. But I still believe in the power of diplomacy and to secure a future where Israelis and Palestinians live in peace,” he said.
“We must ensure peaceful coexistence wins,” he added.

Many of us in the UK are disgusted at the way our government is acting over its support for Israel. Rishi Sunak our prime minister is unelected and he had no right to go to Israel. Many British people agree with you the stance of our government hypocritical because at the same time we are supporting the Ukraine an oppressed nation from an aggressor nation we are also supporting Israel an aggressive nation that is oppressing the Palestinian people. A poll of British people today showed that 75 percent of us don't support the Israeli bombing of Gaza and want an immediate ceasefire.
Cleverly is a hypocrite

If the UK government cares about civilian lives and international law, why did they abstain from the UN vote to have a brief ceasefire while aid is delivered?
The UK is working both diplomatically and militarily to displace Palestinians from Palestine🇵🇸 and settle Israeli Colony permanently.
UK, France and EU and US are not willing that Muslim countries unite and call for protection of their own strategic interests, their own geopolitical interests and their own securities.
Ethnic massace on this scale is a British model. They funded this one for the last three quaters of a century.
The UK, US and Israel are really worried that the Arab nations will unite instead of fighting each other, that’s why they are so nervous.

no you do not turn your head back on what israeli had done to Palestinian people for the past 8 decades.

Does that mean murdering 1500 Israelis?
"I have spoken directly to the Israeli government about their need to abide by International law". "If" that is true well then they obviously have ignored you as there is no way on earth what Israel is inflicting on the people of Gaza could be considered within the realms of International law, unless internalional law has beeen rewritten in the last two weeks to allow unrestrained revenge against civilian populations for the actions of militants.

Aw he said shukran. “Hardest thing in my career” probably bc he’s a human and know what inhumane things are going to continue
In short he said nothing. What the statement means in reality is “Israel continue doing what you are until your anger cools down, after that Israel is going to get to its senses and realize what am I doing and then to avoid embarrassment it will have to adopt a cease fire”
He say two state for future what is that mean falastian 75 years waiting now again this man say for future what are joke
Britain just showed their double standards They were always hypocrites not defenders of human rights
In the UK you are better off getting the opinions of the opposition. As they are a party in waiting. Getting the opinion from the current UK government is pointless as they have little political power in the UK.

People called Tony Blair a blue Tory or a champagne socialist but the country was infinitely better under his leadership that it was under Thatcher, Major, Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak. People like you want the Labour Party to be a party of protest , I want them to be a party of power and for that they have to have a broad enough appeal to be electable.
he is the same guy who first call to ban protests supporting Palestine in Europe. Very bad politician ever seen
The foreign secretary is a clown, he was challenged in the UK parliament about requesting a cease fire in the UN. His response was literally: For those calling from a cease fire from the Israeli's, they should at least ask for Hamas to do the same. ???????????????
not so cleverly why is he not trying to get British hostages out in stead of suckling up to them and photo opportunity is a disgrace just like sunak
Why UK is there to defend settler State of Israel and parroting the most misused metaphrase "right to self defence".?? It is same amount that Palestine does not have right to self defence over Israeli attacks
Lock him up ICC for aiding in genocide
Why not call for restraint in the Ukraine/ Russia war ?
Idiocracy at best…blinded by stupidity and arrogance…this is a classic example of how sensless people talk for the interest of money so called economy… anyway for those who really have eyes and ears… they know…don’t need this kind of people to validate the truth… waiste of time
He says Hamas has always been against the vision of coexistence. Will he also say the same for the terrorist Benjamin Netanyahu too? His party has always been against this too! Double standards

Defender of human rights but the suffering of Palestinian people for a decades has not seen completely blind of what’s happening. They failed to condemn the Israeli forces for killing innocent civilians before this Hamas invasion began and violated international law multiple times. In my opinion I think the Palestinian people have the rights to defend itself and have the right to establish their own state .
All accent, no genuine emotion. Zero impact on the other attendees, who feel deeply for the Palestinian people.
It's uk who is the father of this situation
Same same Uk . Double standards by London
Quite a lot missing interesting how you cut out the condemning the terrorist part here Al Jazeera.
You are deleting my comments why?
Arabs unite and open the borders for voluntary fighters to enter Palestinian, let them go in defend the Palestine people and civilians
These British are reasonable for this Soon they also face this
Barely said anything

I'm no fan of Hamas but maybe they would not exist if Palestine had it's country. I'm just sayin maybe. Maybe the minutemen wouldn't have existed if England represented instead of taxing. Maybe

You don't have to bow down in worship, he never understood this. Even though I allowed it, my life has taught me how corrupted we all are. And though I know how I feel about such. I would forgive even the worst if you could all just change and follow my once request of you, which is to love each other as I love you. I know how difficult this can be, yet I ask it of you. I know it is difficult to understand, yet if a woman is raped I detest this, yet I would ask you respect life. It is perhaps the greatest test, and yet the greatest harm to love someone you feel hatred and anger for. Yet that new life, that child has harmed you not, and how could you truly hate such a gift, to turn it evil through your hatred and anger, when it has harmed you not, and has not wronged you. Yet each day you war over such things, as to cast the wrongs of others upon innocent life. To live without forgiveness or understanding of these things. And thus the cycle continues. Because we live not by Allah's word 🙏🕊
typical beating about the bush as they always do !
I can feel UK Minister said what he didn't like under the pressure of America. You should resign than go against your faith.

Yes Hamas has always been against Israel existence no any doubts but during the time when Palestinians authority - who signed the Oslo declaration and agreed on 1967 sharing plan - was being strongly weakened with the help of Israel gouvernement, through out years, after the death of Yitzhak Rabin, which allowed Hamas ideology to expand into Hamas terrorism because they wanted to sabotage Oslo declaration like Hamas wanted but with an other messianic purpose, the occident closed their eyes. Neither religious radical group on both sides wanted to share anything. One is top 3 best army in the world, the other one is an armed militia. Netanyahu and his coalition shared responsibility with Hamas into this gigantic mess that is ethnically cleansing Christian and Muslim Palestinians. Both have to be condemned! Colonization and double standards are the roots cause of this horrible genocide in front of our eyes.
