Britain’s top diplomat said Thursday that his country could officially recognize a Palestinian state after a cease-fire in Gaza without waiting for the outcome of what could be years-long talks between Israel and the Palestinians on a two-state solution.
Foreign Secretary David Cameron, speaking to The Associated Press during a visit Thursday to Lebanon intended to tamp down regional tensions, said no recognition could come while Hamas remained in Gaza, but that it could take place while Israeli negotiations with Palestinian leaders were continuing.
U.K. recognition of an independent state of Palestine, including in the United Nations, “can’t come at the start of the process, but it doesn’t have to be the very end of the process,” said Cameron, a former British prime minister.
Just a reminder to everyone that this guy fucked a pig when he was at uni.
He also fucked over the entire country, the people, it’s businesses and economy, by arranging the vote for Brexit.
Don’t forget austerity, that in itself had a huge impact.
Let’s not forget the Bullingdon Club shenanigans.
For those not aware of the notoriety of the Bullingdon Club take a look here .
Isn’t there no evidence of that?
The internet never let’s facts get in the way of memeing about people.
You’re right, we should go with verifiable facts.
Just a reminder, this is the guy that promised a Brexit vote to stop his party from splitting in half, actually followed through with that promise, and pikachu faced when he got outplayed by his own party’s propaganda machine, then ran away to leave everybody else to deal with the mess.

wut
Reminder also that whilst it’s a very fun story, this claim was:
a. written as part of a hit job by two right-wing Brexiter journalists in the run-up to the referendum as part of a wider effort by the right to discredit the centrist establishment in the months before the vote (see also: Work and Pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith resigning from Cameron’s cabinet in protest at the work and pensions policies he had conceived and implemented over the previous six years…); and
b. never substantiated by any evidence that those two Brexiter journalists were willing or able to provide, despite them claiming in the book there was a photo.
The 2016 Brexit referendum was the dirtiest election in living memory in the UK. It was plagued by fake news and Russian interference. Isabella Oakshott herself is known to have covered up evidence of Putin’s links to the Brexit campaign and her domestic partner is literally the current leader of Reform UK (the party formerly known as Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party). She is not a credible or impartial figure.
There are totally things Cameron should be criticised for over his time in government, but that is no excuse to parrot Brexiter (and possibly Russian) fake news that was designed to discredit moderates and favour the far-right.
The thing is and I get you and everything, but, Black Mirror’s first episode (S01e01 The National Anthem) was about a Prime Minister fucking a pig was shown on TV before the allegations came out soo yeah…

Apparently it was one of the many open secrets.

Still not as bad as the best likudnik
Ahh who doesn’t remember those uni days fondly. 🥲 I was in Beta Kappa Oink!
This is a good development, especially considering how direct a role the UK played in the region (and thus, the laying of the foundations of the conflict that’s been going on since then) in the decades leading up to the establishment of Israel as a country.
Came here to say this. Imagine the backroom conversations going on in Parliament when the chickens came home to roost. I’m not saying they’re wrong, btw, but it just seems wild that they were the one suggesting a Palestinian state when they carved out Israel back in the day and have done literally nothing to actually make it happen.

If Cameron said it was going to be a sunny day I’d take an umbrella.
The irony if this happens. From the county that took the land away and made Israel.

Good, although I’d like to register my protest that this guy is relevant once again.

I’m confused, how does the BBC platform people on NPR? Isn’t NPR an American public broadcaster?

NPR rebroadcasts BBC programming when they don’t have broadcasts of their own.
