The Israeli Foreign Ministry opposes the use of the slogan "From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free."
An international military contingent, which will be sent to the Gaza Strip to maintain stability after the war, will be led by Egypt, The Guardian reports citing sources.
According to the newspaper, troops from Azerbaijan, Indonesia, and Turkey may be sent to the enclave. Together with Egyptian forces, they are expected to ensure the safety of the civilian population and prevent a possible resumption of hostilities.
The United Kingdom has already sent advisors to the Gaza Strip, who, along with the United States, are working on implementing the second phase of the U.S. 20-point plan. London is also training Palestinian police officers.
Meanwhile, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar held a conversation over the weekend with British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper.
During the conversation, the ministers discussed Trump's plan and its implementation, as well as the situation in the Gaza Strip.
Minister Saar raised the issue of Hamas violating the ceasefire agreement in the context of the return of the bodies of slain hostages. Minister Cooper stated that Britain will continue to seek the return of all abducted individuals.
Minister Saar also spoke about Hamas's actions to restore its control in the Gaza Strip - mass and public executions without trial.
During the conversation, the Israeli Foreign Minister emphasized the need for practical measures against the use of the slogan "From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free" in the British public space after British Prime Minister Starmer stated last week that it is an anti-Semitic slogan. Minister Saar added that it is essentially a call for the destruction of Israel, and it is necessary to draw a line between freedom of expression and hate propaganda.
Minister Saar stated that Prime Minister Starmer's comments should become part of a historical turning point in Britain's fight against anti-Semitism, and that it is necessary to legally enshrine a ban on the use of this slogan, as several federal states in Germany have already done.
