Things seem to have moved after the Cabinet meeting this morning, but there are some pretty big caveats:

[The announcement] will stipulate the need for the release of all the hostages still held by Hamas and be based on a guarantee the terror group no longer rules Gaza, sources say.

Also made me wonder how Starmer’s conversation with Trump went yesterday. Not good?

    I don’t think so. Even Netanyahu’s response to this shows he’s going to ignore us completely.

      Whatever it stop netenyahu or not doesn’t matter. It’s uk and any un state members obligation to use all their leaverage against a genocide since they signed the geneva and genocide convension

        This is a perfectly fine argument that I already agreed with a mere two comments ago when I said:

        I don’t see that the UK has much leverage, but that being the case, we ought to be just doing the moral thing.

        With bold, this time. You know, in case it helps.

          I don’t see why you said even Netanyahu’s response to this shows he’s going to ignore us completely then.

          We still disagree about the uk having no leaverage too
