UK Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy, supported by Labour Party leader Keir Starmer and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, has criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's opposition to a Palestinian state as 'unacceptable'. Lammy reaffirmed Labour's commitment to recognizing Palestine and working with international partners to achieve a two-state solution. In a speech at the Fabian Society at Guildhall, Lammy called for a sustainable ceasefire and stated that the denial of a Palestinian state is morally wrong. The UK government, through Defence Secretary Grant Shapps, officially stated disappointment in Netanyahu's remarks and emphasized the recognition of the Palestinian people’s right to statehood.
Grant Shapps has called the two-state solution in Gaza the only solution, while also stating Israel as a country has the UK's support - this is despite Netanyahu's continued defiance of a Palestinian state. @NIAbbot asks: How can the UK proceed diplomatically with Israel? https://t.co/8v12xF4dtF

The refusal to accept the two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians, and the denial of the right to statehood for the Palestinian people, are unacceptable. The right of the Palestinian people to build their own state must be recognized by all.
