Recognition of the state of Palestine should not be used as a bargaining chip. It should have happened months ago.
We also need far greater action to stop the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, including fully ceasing arms sales and implementing sanctions against the Israeli cabinet.

Yes. Another suggestion from @LibDems ranks: Britain cd deliver food to Gaza by sea with Royal Navy escort. If Israel denies it’s the occupying power in Gaza, with an obligation for the welfare of its people, Britain must be entitled to act to relieve a humanitarian crisis.

The Prime Minister must act with immediate airdrops of much-needed aid into Gaza and get other countries to do the same.
It is simply inhumane that Gaza faces starvation due to Israel’s aid blockade. Words alone won’t save lives.
