UK ‘alarmed’ over Israeli conference in Jerusalem advocating Gaza resettlement
LONDON (AA) – The UK has expressed concern over a recent Israeli conference held in Jerusalem that advocated for the resettlement of Gaza by Israeli Jews.
“The UK is alarmed by the conference in Jerusalem calling for the resettlement of Gaza, and that Israeli ministers participated,” said a statement by the UK government.
“The UK’s position is clear: Gaza is occupied Palestinian territory and will be part of the future Palestinian state,” it said.
“Settlements are illegal. No Palestinian should be threatened with forcible displacement or relocation,” it added.
Israeli settlers had held a conference Sunday about the resettlement of the Gaza Strip and the construction of more settlements in the occupied West Bank. The participants called for the building of new Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories in response to the October 7 attack by Hamas.
Several members of Israel’s government attended the conference.
