UK ambassador James Kariuki delivered a statement at the UN Security Council on 29 June 2026. He reiterated that the United Kingdom supports a two‑state solution and endorsed President Trump’s comprehensive peace plan, backed by resolution 2803. Kariuki condemned Israel’s settlement expansion in the West Bank as a violation of resolution 2334, noting the approval of more than 2,000 housing units this year and the declaration of 465 dunams of private Palestinian land as state land on 24 June. He highlighted daily violence against Palestinians, including arson attacks on mosques and attacks on children. The speech also cited Israel’s withholding of over $5 billion in Palestinian revenues and attacks on Palestinian financial institutions. The UK urged Israel to fulfill its obligations, warned of further sanctions, and called for renewed commitment to the peace plan.
