Statement on the recognition of the Palestinian State
I am pleased to hear that the UK Government is preparing to recognise the state of Palestine, but this must not be conditional.

Now aid centres have been temporarily closed after desperate and hungry Palestinian civilians trying to access morsels of […]

Last week I asked the Minister if the government would drop the 2030 roadmap for UK Israel bilateral relations and impose economic and diplomatic sanctions in order to apply pressure on Israel to abide by its obligations under international law.
Statement on the situation in Gaza
The offensive plans announced by Netanyahu would push hundreds of thousands of Gaza’s civilian population southward. This is ethnic cleansing and a clear breach of international law.
