FIRST Minister John Swinney has written to Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer to demand they commit to recognise the state of Palestine ...
“Ending the humanitarian catastrophe we are seeing in Gaza is without a doubt one of the greatest moral issues of our time,” Swinney said.
Swinney added that everybody has a responsibility to “bring about a peaceful resolution” and it is “clear that full recognition of Palestine as a state in its own right will be a huge step towards a just and durable political solution”. Recognising Palestine as a state in its own right is the only way to move towards a just and durable long-term peace, in the interests of both Palestinians and Israelis.
If you will not immediately commit to doing so, I can confirm that SNP MPs will bring forward a binding vote in the House of Commons at the first possible opportunity after the General Election. I am clear that hostages must be released, arms sales to Israel must end, an immediate ceasefire must be put in place and Palestine must be recognised as a State in order to ensure a lasting peaceI urge you to join with me and the governments of other European countries today in recognising Palestine as a State in its own right.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
