PNN – The Guardian newspaper wrote in a report that “David Cameron” as the “Prime Minister of Foreign Affairs” of England has taken a harsh stance towards Israel.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, the Guardian wrote: It’s only been four months since British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak brought David Cameron back into government as foreign secretary, but officials and diplomats are calling him the prime minister for foreign affairs.
One of the diplomats of the British Foreign Ministry says: Cameron is on another level. Before that we had [Boris] Johnson, [Dominic] Robb, [Liz] Terrace and then [James] Cleverley. But Cameron keeps summoning the troops and wants to know “When can I know more about this? When can I get an update on that issue?
The Guardian stated that most of the British ministries have lost their motivation after 14 years of Conservative Party rule and added: But the State Department, at least for now, seems to be an exception. Officials and diplomats say the differences in Cameron’s approach from those before him stem in part from the fact that his first and only other job in government was as prime minister.
This English publication reminded: Cameron went directly from the leadership of the opposition party to House No. 10 (the seat of the British Prime Minister) in 2010, and he is only familiar with the speed of work at the head of the government. One of the government sources said: He has never worked in the ministry. Another factor is that Cameron is in a hurry and knows he has limited time.
According to the Guardian, William Hague (former British Foreign Secretary) was one of those who convinced him to return to government. Meanwhile, Cameron also did not want to be mentioned more because of the humiliation caused by the failure in the Brexit referendum. From this point of view, becoming foreign secretary was a chance, and on this basis, Hague persuaded him to correct his record.
In the rest of this report, we read that Cameron has traveled to the Middle East and Ukraine five times since last November. “It looks like the PM’s office has given Tom the go-ahead because Sunak isn’t that interested in foreign affairs.”

A former British diplomat who worked closely with Cameron when he was prime minister told the Guardian: David does not have to consult the Prime Minister. Because he himself was once the prime minister and can manage affairs. Because of this, he has access that previous foreign ministers did not have.
This English publication, referring to the harsh position of the British Foreign Minister regarding the developments in Palestine, added: In recent days, Cameron has been much more critical of Israel. Last week there was great news that Israel’s English-speaking spokesman had been suspended after a verbal spat with Cameron over moving more aid into Gaza.
This is while, according to the Guardian, Cameron’s position is getting tougher day by day towards Israel, and he is even considering the possibility of cutting off arms cooperation with Tel Aviv.
According to the report, last week Cameron wrote in a letter to the chairman of the parliamentary foreign affairs committee: “It is a matter of great disappointment that British aid to Gaza is routinely pending Israeli approvals.”
The Guardian wrote: Cameron has created a “large team” of officials and legal experts within the British Foreign Office to monitor Israel’s compliance with international humanitarian law. If Israel attacks Rafah, Britain will probably say “enough is enough” and suspend arms sales.
This English publication noted that Cameron’s approach is completely different from the positions of Sonak and Jez Cleverley (former British foreign minister). Although the Prime Minister’s Office and the Foreign Office insist that the two are aligned, it is clear that Cameron is driving the tone of foreign affairs responses.
Another senior diplomat also told this English publication: In some ways, I wonder why we haven’t done some of this before. It is reasonable to expect to do this with a wider group of countries.
The Guardian wrote at the end of this report: The British Foreign Secretary is now at the center of a tough new approach towards Israel; An approach that was unthinkable just a few months ago.
