Background
In May 2024, 143 UN member states—an overwhelming majority —voted for Palestinian UN membership (A/ES-10/L.30/Rev.1). Yet the US vetoed this motion at the UN Security Council unilaterally blocking Palestinian membership. We believe UK engagement could help end ongoing conditions in Palestine, uphold UN law, and revive meaningful negotiations—restoring hope for both peoples and fulfilling Britain’s global duty to foster lasting peace.
