Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 September 2026
Debate
Israel and PalestineContribution
To advance the two-state solution, we also need viable and effective Palestinian governance, so I urge the Palestinian Authority to accelerate reform, and I urge Israel to lift its withholding of revenues, which is frankly financially crippling the provision of essential services in the West Bank. The set of measures I have announced represents a clear message to the Government of Israel, to the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories and to the world that we will not acquiesce in the destruction of the two-state solution.
