'I'll have to check': David Cameron asked if Gaza is an occupied territory

British Foreign Secretary David Cameron, responding to questions about the UK's legal position on Gaza, stated, "I don't think Israel regards itself as an occupying force." However, he declined to explicitly affirm Israel's occupation of Gaza. Despite the UK government's general use of the term 'Occupied Palestinian territories,' Cameron avoided confirming the current Israeli occupation.

During parliamentary questioning, Cameron evaded a direct answer on Israel's occupation of Gaza, even after over two months of the Israeli army's ground invasion that claimed thousands of lives. He asserted, "Our position is that Israel is fighting a campaign against Hamas. We have to check regularly whether that is in compliance with international humanitarian law and assess that."

When pressed by Conservative lawmaker Alicia Kearns on Gaza's legal status, Cameron responded, "I don't know the precise legal definition of that – I'd have to go back and check."

He is not stupid. If he accepts that Israel is the occupier, then he also has to accept that UK is largely responsible for this by supplying weapons, and in creating Israel as a terrorist occupying power.

It’s been decades and UK still isn’t sure about if Israel is occupying Gaza…..who can make sense of this.

[jamesdickson]

If they don't even know that after 75 years they should just resign

[mimzim]

Put this guy in jail. The international law considers Gaza an occupied territory

How do any of these spineless politicians sleep at night.

Do serial killers consider themselves serial killers? And more to the point, does it matter? Do we wait for war criminals to self reflect? Is that what we're doing now?

Doesn't matter what Israel considers itself. What matters is international law.
