'Israel is the occupying power' says UK Foreign Secretary | AFP

"Patience needs to run very thin and a whole series of warnings need to given," says UK Foreign Minister David Cameron, ahead of a meeting with Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz. "Israel is the occupying power, it is responsible," Cameron adds as he addresses the UK's House of Lords.

The Foreign Secretary stating the bleeding obvious!

[Sunopeek]

1948 called. It's asking, "WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG TO REALIZE?"

[ponybgd]

it is not only about the aid but the state of Palestine and ending of occupation.

[anotherhurayra]

I'll atleast say that it's appreciated that they are now stating the obvious which they coudn't drag themselves to state until now.

[kweqruhip-ri]

Disgusting, this should have been said months ago. By now we should have been applying sanctions/isolating this apartheid/genocidal regime.

[JaneSoole]

WHEN exactly will US and UK patience run out? A huge amount of words have been expended..what action?

[obtuse]

He's gonna lose his Friends of Israel club membership. 😂

[Uliengue]

So.why are idf soldiers receiving military training within UK while the war is ongoing, and why are the details of said training not public?

[lesterdsouza]

Lots of talk but no substantial action by any part ! Shocking

[photonquantum]

He just conveniently left out the part that this "occupying power" was literally created by his predecessors and till this day his government is still supporting them in actions.

[Chloe_playz]

The problem is nobody dare to challenge because they are powerful peoples (the elites above politicians)

[EvoKeremidarov]

Headlines in Isaeli media tomorrow: "David Cameron is an antisemite and is denying the Holocaust" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[patrickcarey]

It's terrible that Isreal blocks british humanitarian aid but accepts continued diplomatic cover for the holocaust in Gaza.I fear Britain might deserve to follow isreal from the river to the sewar.

[chazairinscaturputra]

Education is very much needed for the westerners and westerners media.

[greggbisgrove]

It a shame he can’t say this in the House of Commons

[laurenceegan]

Whether they are compliant with International Humanitarian Law?

Where's this guy been since October last year?

[intelligence_]

He just learned that war crimes have no statute of limitations.

[anotherhurayra]

that took some time but more people need to hear this repeated over and over again to get it into their heads what is going on...

[ValerieBates-hwty]

So what action is UK going to take? Focus on policing the pro Palestinian and pro ceasefire marches?

[VoiceSriLanka]

How come Al Jazeera didn’t report this ?
