UK Prime Minister Weighs West Bank Measures, Condemns Hamas's October 7 Attack

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said his government is considering potential measures related to Israeli settlements in the West Bank, with details to be examined and announced later. In a newly published interview, he declined to commit to a complete arms embargo on Israel. Burnham called Hamas's October 7 attacks abhorrent, while saying Labour had been too slow to call for a Gaza ceasefire and criticizing suggestions that essential supplies could be cut off. He also described Gaza's humanitarian situation as unjustifiable and said its scale was unacceptable.
