Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 November 2025

Debate

Gaza and Sudan

Contribution

My hon. Friend is right. The olive harvest is particularly important to the Palestinian people, both economically and culturally, and we are clear that the settler violence must end. As she knows, we have introduced sanctions on particular Israeli Ministers as a result of some of the things that we have seen around the west bank. We will continue to maintain pressure and take action against settler violence and illegal settlements on the west bank.
