Starmer in sorry state about Gaza

August 02, 2025

I DON’T know about you, but I’m still scratching my head over Sir Keir Starmer’s intervention in the war in Gaza this week. I can’t make sense of it. The PM asserts that if Israel does not agree to a ceasefire in Gaza by the end of next month, the UK will declare Palestine to be a sovereign state.

Well sorry, Keir, but either you believe in a Palestinian state or you don’t. Why is it dependent on what Israel does or doesn’t do over the next few weeks?

In any case, it’s an almost wholly meaningless challenge to Tel Aviv. Because even the blindest of optimists in Downing Street knows that Israel is about as likely to halt its operations in Gaza this side of Christmas as it is to abandon the hostages to their fate.

Some things are so far from reality as to be a waste of time even mentioning. Irael has a lot more business in Gaza to attend to before it will even think about another ceasefire. We're talking months, mimimum.
