Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas has published an op-ed in the Guardian in which he decries the Balfour Declaration as the document that “signed away the Palestinians’ homeland and initiated decades of persecution” for Palestinians, stating that its centenary is cause for “humility not celebration”.

The heightened tensions are the result of the IDF’s destruction of a tunnel from Gaza into Israel that killed seven Palestinians, including an Islamic Jihad commander.

The Telegraph has published an editorial condemning Jeremy Corbyn’s decision not to attend a dinner marking the centenary of the Balfour Declaration and stating that this demonstrates this shows little sign of him “accepting Israel’s right to exist”.
