Britain’s Middle East policy under new PM is likely to shift more in tone

Shafaqna English- Britain’s Middle East policy under Andy Burnham is expected to shift more in tone than in substance.
Those expecting an immediate overhaul of British policy may nevertheless be disappointed.
The former Greater Manchester mayor, Andy Burnham, enters office with limited recent foreign policy experience, while his immediate priority will be restoring the Labour Party’s weakened domestic standing.
Burnham’s approach to the Middle East is likely to be a selective reset rather than a comprehensive one.
That may include some more pressure on Israel, caution over involvement in another war with Iran, and broad continuity in Britain.
