Remember that the latest from this far-right government is that they want to annexe the West Bank, that they want to they want toannexex most of Gaza. They want to push the people into the desert. I mean, there will be no Palestine unless we move. And that's why we have recognise at this stage, whilst there's still. Stadium statistics are potentially there to recognise. To what extent do you think Sir Kia's statement yesterday is driven partly, at least, by the domestic politics of managing the Labour Party in his cabinet, which only has been Labour's long-term policy that we recognise Palestine.
And I remember I voted, I mean, the majority of people in Parliament, I think, in 20. We all voted to recognise Palestine. It's just been a very long time coming. And, you know, it needed to come. And now is the time. And now is the time of maximum effect in my view. Can't wait for a perfect time. We can't wait for you to know, all the stars to align. Now we have to move.
We can't continue just sitting on the sidelines. Britain's been sitting on the sidelines for too long. We've been looking the other way because it's too hard, and nobody says it's easy, and nobody says that we might not fail, but we're never going to succeed unless we try. But what is that maximum effect that you expect to see? I mean, what's going to result from this? We've had a change of position, a historic change.
SourceDavid Lammy spoke at the UN. What do you think's going to happen? And that's different. What happens now is that it has to be part of a process. And that I think the Prime Minister has been clear aabout if it's the beginning of a process, particularly France and Britain, you talk about Balfour, there's also Sykes-Picot.
