Leaders of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland convened Monday evening for a meeting to discuss a coordinated plan to leave the United Kingdom and rejoin the European Union, according to Israeli public broadcaster KAN. The meeting came hours after the same leaders signed a formal Memorandum of Understanding in Cardiff earlier Monday, as The Zioneer reported at 20:49.
The sequence of events unfolded rapidly over the past day. On Sunday, The Telegraph reported that the leaders planned to sign a joint demand for independence referendums on Monday. Later on Sunday, The Zioneer reported a joint self-determination declaration and an expressed intent to pursue a future within the EU. Then on Monday evening, the leaders held a discussion on implementing the plan, following the actual signing of the MoU.
As The Zioneer reported, the signatories declared that "Westminster's time is coming to an end" and called on the London government to prepare for dissolution. The agreement marks a historic escalation in the push for independence across the UK's constituent nations.
Details of the plan discussed at the meeting — including timelines, specific steps toward referendums, and the process for EU accession — remain unconfirmed.
