Unfortunately the result is non-binding.
But still: WOW!
The UK abstained.
Here's the official reasoning behind that abstention:
While our abstention reflects our unwavering determination to focus on efforts to bring about a peaceful and negotiated two-state solution, the United Kingdom aims, by this statement, to indicate our clear view that Israel should bring an end to its presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territories as rapidly as possible. And every effort must be made to create the conditions for negotiations which provide for a sovereign, viable and free Palestine, alongside a safe, secure and free Israel, recognising the security concerns and right to self-defence of each one. We must also work towards the reunification of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza in line with 1967 borders and under the effective control of the Palestinian Authority, as a fundamental step towards a two-state solution.
...We will continue to work urgently to help bring peace and galvanise a political process towards a two-state solution which provides long-term peace and security for both Israelis and Palestinians alike. I thank you.
If pursuing peace then why is the UK selling Israel weapons and being neutral?
What. A load. Of bollocks!!
Stop the weapons.
Stop all support of Israel.
How many dead and maimed children will it take?
Yes, Hamas are a bunch of gullible dickheads, but the 7th October attack was allowed and capitalised on by Israel.
