Prime Minister Keir Starmer's controversial decision to recognize the state of Palestine may lead to demands for the UK to pay more than 2 trillion pounds sterling in reparations. This is reported by the Daily Mail newspaper with reference to legal experts.
"Legal experts warn that this ... could be an expensive decision, because a new country will require incredible (for Britain. — EADaily) losses as compensation for the land "taken from the Palestinian people" when the UK gave up control of the region after the Second World War," the newspaper writes.
According to a number of experts in the field of international law, 2 trillion pounds, which is "approximately equal to the size of the entire UK economy," would be a "good starting point."
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who has long threatened to sue the UK, is demanding "reparations in accordance with international law" based on the value of land that was under British rule from 1917 to 1948, the building also recalls.
As reported by EADaily, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom officially recognized the statehood of Palestine. This was reported by the English newspaper The Guardian.
A symbolic step was taken 70 years after the end of the British mandate in Palestine, the newspaper notes.
