Thank you for inviting me to the Lobby Day for Palestine organised by the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign.
I am unable to attend this event due to pre-existing commitments, however I can assure you that I share the UK’s longstanding commitment to a two-state solution, where two equal and sovereign states, Palestine and Israel, live side by side in peace and mutual respect; and that I am following all developments, including the ongoing efforts of ministers and British officials towards the above end, very closely.
