A few days after the dangerous statements of the new British Prime Minister Liz Truss on October 5, in a famous video clip, she said: “As you know, I am a big Zionist and I am a big supporter of Israel and I know that we can develop relations between the United Kingdom and Israel from strength to strength.”
Thras seems to want to commit another crime against the Palestinian people by moving the London embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to occupied Jerusalem.
This happened on the eve of the 105th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration on November 2, 1917, during which the British government during World War I announced support for the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine, which was an Ottoman region with a Jewish minority.
The scene that Liz is currently playing re-creates a British stance that tends to denounce the continuous tragedy she caused when she provided through the “Balfour Declaration” what she didn’t have to those who didn’t deserve it and is now looming today recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of the occupation.
The question remains, will London really follow this path? And what are Terrace’s motives for announcing its intention to make a decision at this particular time? And how will the locals and Arabs react to this?
