The moment to recognise Palestine is now

6 October 2014 by admin in Blog

On Monday 13th October, MPs will have the chance to debate and vote on whether the UK should recognise Palestine. Join the campaign asking them to vote yes.

Sweden has just indicated that it intends to formally recognise the state of Israel, making it the first major European country to do so. If there was ever a time to write to your MP, it is NOW! 

The Palestinians are pushing to secure a UN Security Council resolution setting a two year deadline for Israel to end its occupation of the Palestinian territories and East Jerusalem by November 2016. The White House has warned Israel last week that it risked alienating “even its closest allies” if it continued with settlement building and the EU joined Washington in harshly criticising last week’s announcement by Israel of planning approval for 2,600 new housing units in a settlement across the green line.
