Likely new British PM Burnham says UK ‘needs to do better’ on Gaza
Andy Burnham, the UK’s likely incoming prime minister and Labour MP, apologized for his party’s inadequate response to Israel’s war in Gaza and pledged stronger measures against Israel, including sanctions on illegal settlements and restrictions on arms licenses. He acknowledged delays in calling for a ceasefire but stopped short of labeling Israel’s actions as genocide.
