Abstract:

In response to the Hamas attack of 7 October, the British government declared support for Israel while emphasising the right of the Palestinians to their own state (two-state solution) and the need for Israel to respect international humanitarian law. The government also sent additional military units to UK bases in the region to protect British citizens and interests. At the same time, pro-Palestinian demonstrations have been taking place all over the UK and Israeli and Palestinian supporters have been clashing in media appearances. A year before a general election in the UK, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is both intensifying and linking the debate on foreign policy with immigration and internal security.
