In a meeting with the British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband on 7 September, I heard him proclaiming that the UK was genuinely serious about taking action against Israeli violations of international law.

Britain’s diplomat-in-chief did not spell out what these actions would be, but he was insistent this would be part of a reset on Israel-Palestine. Miliband was also clear this was an issue he would take the lead on.

This was not a man about to duck his moment.

Yet, even at the end of the meeting, I was left wondering about all the strident comments against what Israel was doing - how far would the government actually go when addressing Parliament?

Miliband talked of a reset in relations with Israel. What would that mean?
