Lord Hain (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 September 2025

Debate

Gaza City

Contribution

I welcome what my noble friend has said, but ask her to what extent the two-state solution, which we all—the international community as well—have supported for decades is now viable, given that Gaza has been reduced to rubble; given what my friend, the noble Lord, Lord Carlile, said; given that the Israeli Prime Minister has expressly said that he does not want a two-state solution any more; and given that the West Bank is now full of settlements, making that increasingly less likely, and there is no governance in either part of the state. How viable is it?
