Key takeaways
Recognition of Palestine was an important step – but without enforcement, it changes little on the ground
Gaza remains devastated and unreconstructed; de facto annexation is accelerating in the West Bank
Banning trade with illegal settlements is a concrete, achievable next step
International law must be upheld consistently, including protection of UN agencies
Public pressure, parliamentary advocacy and persistence still matter
Thank you, as always, for your continued engagement and support. We hope you find the discussion useful and share it with others.
Warm wishes,
The Britain Palestine Project Team
