Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 November 2025

Debate

Palestinian Refugees

Contribution

My Lords, I draw attention to my entry in the register, particularly as an adviser to the Council of Arab Ambassadors. In terms of statements and symbolism, the recognition of Palestine has now happened. But, in terms of specific influence, what levers are His Majesty’s Government exercising—particularly in direct negotiation with Israel and the leadership of the Palestinians—to ensure the 20-point plan, and what specific lever is the UK responsible for in the plan? The time window is closing. We do not need statements and symbolism; we need action.
