[Zeynep Demir  - Anadolu Agency])   Ed Miliband, Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, arrives at 10 Downing Street to attend the weekly Cabinet meeting in London, United Kingdom on July 21, 2026. [Zeynep Demir  – Anadolu Agency]             British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband on Tuesday condemned what he called “appalling settler terrorism” against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, vowing that the government would not acquiesce in the destruction of the two-state solution, Anadolu reports.  “Over recent weeks, we’ve also seen appalling settler terrorism and Palestinians driven from their homes,” Miliband told lawmakers in the House of Commons. Saying the government would not acquiesce in the destruction of the two-state solution, he added: “We will act, and I will set out a comprehensive set of measures in the coming weeks.” Miliband also said the British government does not want UK companies “financing, constructing, or advertising” new settlements in the occupied West Bank. His remarks came amid a sharp increase in attacks by illegal Israeli occupiers across the occupied West Bank.

Responding to a question about recent Russian “threats” over the UK’s military assistance to Kyiv, Miliband said Britain would not be “intimidated by Russian threats.” “Russia can make its threats, but we are not going to be deterred from our solidarity and support for Ukraine,” he said. Last week, Russia said British military facilities in Ukraine “and beyond” could be targeted in response to Kyiv’s use of UK missiles to strike Russia. Meanwhile, citing an announcement by the UK weather agency earlier Tuesday that summer 2026 was provisionally the warmest ever recorded in the country, Miliband said climate change is “one of the biggest national security threats we face.” READ: (https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260901-propping-up-apartheid-uk-failing-legal-duties-on-palestine-new-briefing-warns/) ‘Propping up apartheid’: UK failing legal duties on Palestine, new briefing warns    (index.html#disqus_thread) 0 Comments  (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/) (Creative Commons License)   Unless otherwise stated in the article above, this work by (https://www.middleeastmonitor.com) Middle East Monitor is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License .
