So if they get a ceasefire the UK will happily go back to ignoring the continued genocide of the Palestinians?

Basically? Humans are leverage?

Not exactly, Starmer's demands are that Israel leave Palestine alone from then on. He's laid down loads of conditions.

He's still a borderline fascist antiSemite, like Netanyahu and Trump

Quotes directly from Kier Stalin - the UK gov will recognise the State of Palestine unless Israel stops the genocide and makes all necessary moves to return peace to Palestine.

Unless he simply fucked up his speech, I speculate that this means that if Israel doesn't stop its cruelty, the UK will join the rest of the countries in opposing Israel by agreeing that Palestine exists.

Imagine watching someone beating the shit out of someone else with a crowbar and warning them that if they don't stop in 2 hours you'll do something about it.
