Ottawa [Canada], September 23 (ANI): Britain is facing a massive Pound 2 trillion reparations demand from the Palestinian Authority following Prime Minister Keir Starmer's recognition of Palestine as a state, reported The Winnipeg Sun. The UK governed Palestine during this period, issuing the Balfour Declaration in 1917, which promised a Jewish homeland, sparking tensions with the Arab populations. The Pound 2 trillion demand dwarfs previous UK compensation settlements, sparking concerns about fiscal stability. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said the recognition was a mistake, while some Labour MPs echoed past arguments in favour of reparations. The British government has maintained that recognition was symbolic and does not trigger any financial obligations, reported The Winnipeg Sun.
