Injustice against Palestinians cause of confict: China  

China's foreign minister Wang Yi said Friday that the cause of the Israel-Hamas conflict was ‘historical injustice’ against Palestinians, as he met with the EU's foreign policy chief in Beijing.

"The root of this problem lies in the long delay in the realisation of Palestine's aspiration to establish an independent state, and in the fact that the historical injustice suffered by the Palestinian people has not been corrected," Wang said after holding a meeting with Josep Borrell.

Speaking to journalists at an international summit in Gotland in Sweden, British PM Rishi Sunak said there has been a quite frankly disgusting rise in anti-Semitic incidents over the past few days.

“That's not right, According to London's Metropolitan Police there has been a massive increase in anti-Semitic crime and incidents.”

The Met's deputy assistant commissioner Laurence Taylor said there were “105 anti-Semitic incidents and 75 anti-Semitic offences between September 30 and October 13, compared to 14 incidents and 12 offences in the same period last year”.

"We have provided extra funding to the Community Security Trust to make sure that Jewish institutions -– whether that's synagogue or schools -– have all the protection they need and the police have all the support that they need to ensure that our streets are safe for people from all communities," Sunak said.

"Because we will absolutely not tolerate people inciting hatred, or violence or racist activity. Intimidating or threatening behaviour will not be tolerated.

"It will be met with the full force of the law," he added.
