Baroness Blackstone (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 October 2025

Debate

Middle East

Contribution

My Lords, perhaps inevitably, there is rather little detail in the Statement. However, it does say—I think that this was endorsed by my noble friend the Leader of the House just now—that “a viable Palestinian state is the only way to secure, lasting peace for the Middle East”. Can my noble friend say what discussions the Government are currently having with President Trump and his senior colleagues on how to prevent further illegal settlements on the West Bank, which will surely prevent a viable Palestinian state?
