UK archbishop ‘concerned’ over embassy move to Jerusalem
Al JazeeraAPR 2022
Next year marks 75 years since the re-establishment of the State of Israel. What better way to honor this anniversary than by moving the UK embassy to Jerusalem, reversing decades of misguided foreign policy? This will deeply enhance UK-Israeli relations.
The case against a move is logical, legal, and practical as well as moral. Moving the embassy would tear up the commitment to any meaningful two-state solution. It would also tacitly condone the march of illegal settlements. Britain’s historical responsibilities, and international law, demand it should keep the embassy in Tel Aviv and not add to the damage already done.
