He urged the United Kingdom to act on the colonial era issue after recognizing the Palestinian state

Palestinians who are following an apology from the United Kingdom have urged the claims of war crimes in the colonial era the government to respond in light of its recognition this week to the State of Palestine.

The group submitted a legal petition from 400 pages to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs earlier this month in search of an official apology and soundproofs from the United Kingdom.

They represent 13 families who say they were subjected to violence, exile, or repression during the period known as the British mandate in historical Palestine from 1917 to 1948.

Victor Katan, who talks about the two affluations, said the government bears the responsibility to recognize what happened “to push understanding and knowledge” about its past.

Speaking to BBC during the United Nations Conference for this week in New York, Britain’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state – but he argued that he did not properly address the behavior of the United Kingdom and heritage.

He said: “Britain denied the autonomy of Palestinian society … The High Commissioner, such as a dictator (and) a Palestinian people bearing the greatest burden.”

“Confession alone does not deal with all these historical problems that the Palestinians have no history but the living reality to this day,” said Professor Katan, an expert in general international law at the University of Nutingham.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) will not confirm whether the ministers have been informed of the legal petition that he says “has not commented on them routinely”, although the BBC realizes that former Deputy Prime Minister and former Secretary David Lami ask officials to consider the application.

Three decades are documented by the alleged violations by the UK forces during the escalating violence until 1948, after which the United Kingdom withdrew quickly and declared the state of Israel.

The alleged violations by the British forces range from killing, torture, expulsion and mass punishment that says submission says the Arab Palestinian population who communicate with war crimes and crimes against humanity.

In 2022, a BBC review of some historical evidence found details of arbitrary killings, The mayors were burned from the entire villages, the “cage” of the outdoor civilians, and the use of human shields by linking them at the front of the military vehicles and introducing home bruises as a collective punishment.

The evidence included audio recordings that were conducted after decades, in which British soldiers and police officers described violations. Some of them were held as part of the official policy guidelines of the UK forces at that time or with the approval of senior officers.

The UK Ministry of Defense said in 2022 that it was familiar with historical allegations against the armed forces’ employees during this period, and any evidence submitted “accurately” will be reviewed.

During the First World War, Britain invaded Palestine, exited the Ottoman Turks, and facilitated its promise to a homeland of a Jewish homeland issued in the Balfour Declaration in 1917.

In decades that followed, violence between Arabs and Jews was launched.

A rebellion known as the Arab rebellion against British rule erupted from 1936 to 1939. He was brutally suppressed by the British, leaving about 10 % of the adult Arab Palestinian population who were killed, wounded, imprisoned or denying, according to one of the estimates.

Palestinian pets seek to build on previous concessions from the United Kingdom due to war crimes in the colonial era, including this year’s apology for the Batang Cali massacre in 1948 in Malaya and the settlement of Kenyan violations during the Mao Mao uprising in the fifties.

The UK, France and many other countries resolution recognize a Palestinian state that they saw join more than 150 countries that do so already.

The Palestinians welcomed this step – but Israel and the United States rejected it, which has argued that it had been made efforts to mediate the ceasefire in the war in the Gaza Strip.
