In a post on X, Miliband said he discussed the “sharp escalation of settler violence and settlement expansion” as well as the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza. “I said Israel must crack down on violence in the West Bank, and must immediately end blockages on aid into Gaza,” Miliband said. Miliband reiterated Britain’s support for a two-state solution involving a safe and secure Israel alongside a Palestinian state. The call comes as international pressure continues to mount over the humanitarian situation in Gaza and violence in the West Bank, with Britain pressing Israel to take steps to ease restrictions on aid and address attacks by settlers.
