'We hear you, you were right': Ed Miliband addresses critics of Labour policy on Palestine

British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband has told people "moved and outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people" that "we hear you, you were right" in his address to the Labour Party conference in Liverpool.

The foreign secretary used his first speech in the role to indicate a new approach to foreign policy working with "like-minded countries" to "build coalitions on big global issues".

Miliband declared the UK's foreign policy has been reset after Andy Burnham replaced Keir Starmer as prime minister.

"I want to say to the millions of people in this country and indeed elsewhere who have been moved and outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people: we hear you, you were right," Miliband said.

"And under Andy’s leadership, we have reset our approach. We call out ethnic cleansing by the settler terrorists in the West Bank. We call out the evidence of war crimes in Gaza. We call out Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine. And we match words with actions."
