    Mr. Prime Minister (Keir Starmer),
    I extend to you my heartfelt congratulations on your party's victory in the elections held yesterday, and on your appointment as the Prime Minister of Britain today, July 5, 2024. This achievement reflects the immense trust placed in you by the citizens of Britain, including those who voted for you and those who did not exercise their right to vote, as well as the confidence extended to you by people worldwide.
    Throughout your career as a lawyer, you passionately defended human rights and freedoms, demonstrating extensive expertise in law and politics. The world knows that you will approach humanitarian and legal issues with a comprehensive perspective, advocating fiercely for the rights of peoples, including the Palestinian people, to live in dignity and to establish their independent state on the occupied Palestinian land.
    I am confident that you will remain a vital force in upholding international laws and decisions, protecting human rights, and working diligently to end the humanitarian tragedy suffered by the people of Gaza, including children and women subjected to genocide.
    Through your leadership and vision, we look forward to a more humane and just future in Britain and the world. I wish you every success in your new role as Prime Minister of Britain, and I look forward to witnessing the significant achievements you will accomplish during your tenure.
    With utmost respect and admiration,
    Abdulrahman Al-Yamani
    British Citizen
    Of Arab descent
