Debate

Middle East

Contribution

We are in a position to play this role precisely because of the approach this Government take. That includes our decision to recognise the State of Palestine. This move, taken alongside our allies—France, Canada, Australia and others—helped lead to the historic New York declaration, in which, for the first time, the entire Arab League condemned the atrocities of 7 October, urged Hamas to disarm and, crucially, demanded that it end its rule in Gaza.
