Layla Moran

Layla Moran

Liberal Democrat — Oxford West and Abingdon

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 December 2024

Debate

Israel and Palestine

Contribution

My hon. Friend is entirely right that, within Palestine, recognition is seen as a prerequisite for what might come next. It is not a replacement and is not top-down. That is deeply felt—in fact, it was promised to the Palestinian people when my great-grandfather was alive. Does my hon. Friend also recognise that, alongside a state, there need to be viable, democratic elections? They would be made much easier if everyone in Palestine were allowed to vote in them. That is what stopped the last ones happening: people were not.
