Britain’s new Defence Secretary Wes Streeting has sparked controversy by accusing Israel of failing to meet UK standards in Gaza and the West Bank, echoing private claims that Israel is committing war crimes. His remarks come amid growing internal Labour Party divisions and as Prime Minister Andy Burnham seeks to distance the party from its prior stance, apologizing for missteps in Gaza. Streeting declined to address whether Britain should continue buying Israeli arms or commit to the defence spending target, deferring to others. Appointed by Burnham — who praised Streeting as a reformer — he vows to bring modernization to the Ministry of Defence.
