The results of the British election and the aggravation of the conditions for Netanyahu

Mehr News, International Group: During the recent election campaigns, British political analysts wanted to show that only the issue of economy, health and education affected the election results, but field research It has shown that the events in Gaza and the British government’s approach to the crimes of the Zionist regime were among the most important factors that citizens were concerned about in the recent elections.

In this sense, it must be said that the results of the British elections were a big shock for the Zionist regime. Because the conservative party was defeated and Rishi Sonak had to give his place to Kerr Starmer, the leader of the Labor Party.

The Labor Party, which had been preparing for this victory for 14 years, managed to get 412 seats and only 121 seats went to the Conservative Party. The share of the Liberal Democratic Party was 71 seats, and the National Party of Scotland won 9 seats and the rest of the parties got 35 seats.

The results of the British election and the uncertainty about the status of Joe Biden and the Democrats, along with domestic conditions, have made it more difficult for Netanyahu. Because the events of the last year showed how much Sunak supported the Zionist regime.

But now that Starmer has formed a cabinet, we can say that the situation for the Zionist regime has become more complicated. Of course, the Labor Party gaining power in England does not mean a change in the political approach of the old colonialists towards the Palestine case, and everyone knows that England played a historic and decisive role in the formation of the illegitimate phenomenon of Zionism. But the problem is that the Asian voters living in England, as well as some of the intellectuals and ordinary citizens of this country, were fed up with the crimes of the Zionists in the last few months, and the demonstrations of the supporters of Palestine in London attracted the attention of the whole world.

Despite the widespread protests of British citizens against the genocide in Gaza, Sunak’s government was one of Benjamin Netanyahu’s most important supporters since the Al-Aqsa storm operation. The provision of arms aid, the provision of intelligence services, legal support and attempts to negatively influence the global decisions of supporters of the Palestinian fighters were part of the British support package for Tel Aviv. But now a government has come to work which, in this very first step, has shown that it is not ready to support the war due to the increasing wave of support for Palestine among British citizens.

British Muslims, worried about Gaza

The detailed report of the Independent newspaper showed that the voters in the British elections did not only have an opinion on economic issues, and by the way, one of their most important concerns is the way the government views the issue. It was Palestine. This newspaper announced in its report that at least 20% of Asian and Muslim voters in England seriously think about the Palestinian issue and are dissatisfied and complaining about the policies of the Conservative Party government.

Zara Mohammed, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, spoke of the significant concerns among Britain’s Muslim communities, while Kerr Starmer, before the election , had avoided calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. But as soon as he was satisfied with his victory, he chose a person as the foreign minister who, in his first political position, talks about the need for an immediate ceasefire and the release of prisoners.

The approach of the two old British parties to the Palestine issue

We know that two old and powerful parties in the British political scene, the Conservative Party and the Labor Party, two They lead the main faction of politics and political thinking in British society and governance. These two parties have similar views on the existence of the Zionist regime. But at the same time, they have remarkable differences. The British Conservative Party has a complex position on the Zionist regime and Gaza. The Conservative Party has traditionally been seen as pro-Tel Aviv, but in recent years, some Conservative Party MPs have criticized Zionist atrocities in Gaza, leading to internal divisions within the party. The main features of this party’s approach to the Palestinian issue are as follows:

1. This party generally supports a dangerous fallacy called “the right of the Zionist regime to defend itself”, and as a result, it turns its eyes on many crimes. closes.

2. It supports the two-state solution.

3. Conservatives are committed to fighting anti-Semitism.

4. Funding for security measures in Jewish schools and synagogues and promoting education about Jewish history and the Holocaust are other political goals of British conservatives.

During the 2024 UK election, Labor lost some votes in Muslim-majority areas due to its stance on Gaza, suggesting that The issue is still very important in British politics. But in the attitude of this party, there are issues that can be said to be not as hostile as the conservative party.

The British Labor Party’s attitude towards the Zionist regime and Gaza has changed over time and has been influenced by various factors including leadership, political climate and public opinion. Historically, the Labor Party has always supported the two-state solution. However, there have been significant changes in recent years, some of which can be mentioned:

1. The Labor Party under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn during the years 2015 to 2020 faced accusations of anti-Semitism and favoring Palestine.

2. Corbyn repeatedly criticized the actions of the Zionist regime in Gaza and demanded an end to the blockade.

3. With the election of Kerr Starmer as the leader of the Labor Party in 2020, this party has tried to rebuild its position with the Jewish community. For this reason, although he supported the existence of the regime, he openly opposed the expansion of settlements.

4. In response to the recent conflicts in Gaza, the Labor Party under Starmer’s leadership called for de-escalation and emphasized the need to defend a peaceful solution.

Evidences have shown that the increasing wave of support for the oppressed people of Gaza and Palestine in the world, especially in America and England, has also affected the governments and the continuation of this The situation will make it more difficult for the Zionist regime and its extremists.
