Labour’s Lisa Nandy has called for an urgent focus on a two-state solution to end violence in Israel and occupied Palestine, saying the international community had not done enough to seek a lasting solution to the regional conflict before the latest outbreak of war.
Nandy, who was visiting Jerusalem on the day the death toll in Gaza climbed to more than 23,000, said she cried hearing about the agony of Palestinians with loved ones trapped there, but believed demanding an immediate ceasefire was not the most effective way to end the violence.
