Britain ‘must save two-state solution’
Petitioners demand action against illegal Israeli settlements

PROSPECTS for a peaceful two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict will “disappear” without British action against illegal Israeli settlements, Labour MP Richard Burden said yesterday.

The chair of Parliament’s all-party group on Palestine issued the warning as he joined campaigners to hand in a 20,000-name petition calling for sanctions against Israel.

“The two-state solution that governments of all persuasion have said they support is disappearing in front of our eyes,” he told the Star.
