This thread is not about the October 7 terror attacks or the destruction of Gaza and genocide that followed. Trump and Rubio have green-lit annexation.Today’s historic decision, taken alongside some of our closest allies, to recognise a Palestinian State, reflects our unwavering commitment to a two-state solution and affirms the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination.Recognition is an important step to preserve the prospect of a two-state solution, at a time when it is now under unprecedented threat. They must release the hostages and relinquish any hold on Gaza. But Hamas are not the Palestinian people.Recognition is only one part of what must be a stronger and wider push for peace. We need to end the conflict in Gaza, secure the release of all hostages and get humanitarian aid to all those who desperately need it.
