Ed Miliband, a former Labour Party leader and a British-Jewish politician, has been appointed Foreign Secretary in the new government of Prime Minister Andy Burnham, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). Burnham, who was sworn in as prime minister earlier today, has signaled a more critical stance toward Israel, including backing settlement trade bans and a war crimes probe, as The Zioneer has reported. Miliband, who served as Labour leader from 2010 to 2015, brings extensive political experience to the foreign office at a time of strained UK-Israel relations. The appointment marks one of the first key cabinet posts in Burnham's government.
