Britain: We Aim for a Palestinian Leadership Supportive of Peace as Soon as Possible

British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly indicated on Wednesday that "the desired outcome of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas is moving towards having a peace-loving Palestinian leadership," and reiterated his country's support for a two-state solution. During the G7 summit in Japan, Cleverly stated, "In the short term, it is unavoidable that Israel has a security responsibility, as it has forces in Gaza." He continued, "But our vision is to move as quickly as possible towards having a peace-loving Palestinian leadership as the best possible outcome."
