"British Concern Over Israel's Potential Breach of International Law in Gaza"

British Foreign Minister David Cameron expressed concern that Israel's actions in Gaza may have breached international law, stating that while the advice he received indicated compliance, there were still questions to answer. The UK has supported Israel's right to defend itself but also called for restraint and adherence to international law. Cameron highlighted the extensive destruction in Gaza and the need for a collective effort to rebuild, while also noting a significant reduction in Hamas's rocket-firing capability. United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged Israeli leaders to avoid harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure.

UK Parliament Asserts Taiwan's Independence as Foreign Secretary Visits China

The British parliament's influential foreign affairs committee has referred to Taiwan as an "independent country" in an official report, marking a significant departure from the country's previous stance and risking backlash from Beijing. The report criticized the UK government for not being bold enough in supporting Taiwan and called for closer relations, including trilateral cooperation with Japan and Taiwan on cyber and space defense capabilities. The committee also urged the government to campaign for Taiwan's admission to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). Additionally, the report criticized the British government for keeping its China strategy under wraps and called for tougher action against China's "transnational repression" on British soil.
