The head of the Palestinian mission in the United Kingdom, Hossam Zomlot, called on the British government to ensure that no British figure participates in Israel’s crimes against humanity.
Zomlot said in a tweet on his verified account on the “X” platform that Israeli media reported that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair visited Israel last week, met with many Israeli officials, including Netanyahu, and is assuming a role helping Israel carry out mass expulsions and ethnic cleansing. For Palestinians from their homeland under the guise of “voluntary immigration.”
Zomlot added, “We call on the UK government to ensure that no British figure participates in any way in Israel’s ongoing crimes against humanity. We are determined that anyone who does so will bear the legal consequences of such immoral and criminal acts against the Palestinian people.”
Yesterday, Sunday, Hebrew Channel 12 reported that Israel intends to appoint Tony Blair as a mediator between it and Western countries to persuade them to receive Palestinian refugees from the Gaza Strip after the end of the war.
The channel explained that Blair was on a secret visit to Israel last week, where he held unannounced meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister in the War Council, Benny Gantz, to discuss the matter.
For its part, the Palestinian presidency said, “We will demand that the British government not allow this tampering with the fate and future of the Palestinian people.”
She continued, “We will call on the Secretary-General of the United Nations (Antonio Guterres) to do everything possible, in order not to allow such actions that violate international law and international legitimacy.”
The presidency said it considered Blair an undesirable person in the Palestinian territories.
On the other hand, a source close to Blair denied – to the Jerusalem Post – what Channel 12 reported.
