The Palestinian Authority has demanded £2 trillion in reparations from the United Kingdom, citing Britain’s role in the 1917 Balfour Declaration, which paved the way for the creation of Israel. Palestinian officials argue that the declaration caused decades of displacement, suffering, and conflict for the Palestinian people.

According to reports, Palestinian leaders believe the UK bears a historic responsibility for the crisis in the Middle East. They are urging the British government to acknowledge its past role and provide compensation as part of a broader push for justice and recognition.

While the demand is seen by some as symbolic, it has already stirred international debate, with critics questioning whether reparations of such magnitude are realistic. Supporters, however, argue that the move highlights the urgent need to address historical injustices that continue to affect Palestinians today.
