Husam Zomlot, the head of the Palestinian Mission to the UK, characterizes the present situation in Gaza as one marked by “horrors” and a high level of violence.
Zomlot officially represents the Palestinian Authority (PA), which administers certain areas of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, while Hamas maintains control over the Gaza Strip.
During an interview on the BBC’s “Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg” program, he calls on the UK government to adhere to its historical, legal, and political obligations and to cease granting implicit approval to the Israeli government.
When repeatedly questioned about support for Hamas in Gaza, Zomlot asserts that most people do not align themselves with a particular political faction. For those who do, he contends that the majority align with Fatah, which governs the PA.
