Gaza conflict making two-state solution impossible — Cameron

British PM Cameron, according to UK’s ITV news, says the “facts on the ground” are “beginning to make a two-state solution impossible” in the Middle East.

Cameron pledges an additional 3 million pounds to Gaza relief. He also calls for an unconditional ceasefire to stop the conflict.

He says the aid was to “make sure the people in Gaza have the basic necessities of life, the food, the shelter and the assistance that they need.”

Cameron blames Hamas for breaking ceasefires. “We should be very clear that we want an unconditional, immediate, humanitarian ceasefire that applies to everybody,” he says.

Meanwhile, Britain’s Foreign Secretary Hammond warns: “Israelis have to understand that while they are defending their security in seeking to root out these rocket launchers and deal with the attack tunnels, they are also undermining the support for Israel that exists in the west.”

And he stresses, in a BBC interview quoted by the Guardian: “What Israel does in Gaza must be proportionate – that’s a requirement of international law. It would not be legal if it was not proportionate.

“Israel will argue that the actions it has taken are taken against military targets and that Hamas has deliberately planted military installations in the middle of civilian areas, using civilians as human shields.

“In due course, the claims on both sides will need to be investigated. What is needed right now is an immediate and unconditional ceasefire.”
