What the petition asks
Peace in the Middle East is dependant on achieving justice for all involved and for the people of Palestine have their human rights respected and the recognition of Palestine as an independent sovereign state.
The unilateral decision to transfer the US Embassy to Jerusalem, in defiance of previous international agreements, has been highly provocative.
Alon Liel, former Director-General of Israel’s Foreign Ministry ‘If Britain will recognise Palestine as a government there will be a Palestinian state’. British recognition ‘will be followed by other countries, and it can turn things around.’
This is a finding of the Balfour Project drawing from a wide diversity of ethnic and political views.
