Baroness Northover (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 September 2025

Debate

Gaza City

Contribution

My Lords, I welcome the move by the UK Government to recognise the state of Palestine alongside Israel. My Private Member’s Bill on the subject will, I hope, be redundant. I was privileged to have the support of the noble Lord, Lord Dubs, on that. What engagement will the Government have with President Trump when he visits to convey the strongest message that Israel’s long-term security is best served when it has widespread international support—and that this requires a two-state solution rather than the forced removal of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank?
