It was important to meet again with the Palestinian Ambassador Husam Zomlot yesterday ahead of the United Nations General Assembly meeting next week. The recognition of a Palestinian state by the UK Government marks an important step in diplomatic solutions to resolve the situation in Gaza and also the West Bank.
I repeat my calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the immediate and sustained passage of aid into Gaza, the release of the remaining hostages and a two state solution for lasting peace.
