Labour — Blackpool North and Fleetwood

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 June 2025

Debate

Iran-Israel Conflict

Contribution

I have spent nearly a year in this Chamber watching our country pleading with the Israeli Government to de-escalate in Gaza. They have not. Strong words and desperate pleas have not worked. Is now the time to recognise the state of Palestine, as we promised in our manifesto? Is now the time to extend last week’s welcome sanctions to other members of Netanyahu’s regime, including the Prime Minister himself? If not now, when?
