The British Government is taking a positive step by recognising the state of Palestine on 22 September at the UN General Assembly, along with France, Australia, Canada, Portugal and others. How the UK reached this point will not matter, come the day.
Recognition matters, but it does not address the current crisis of famine in Gaza. Our Parliament resumes work on 1 September.
So we ask you to consider writing to your MP now, making two points: yes to recognition, no to man-made famine in Gaza.
