Hossam Zomlot: Britain’s recognition of Palestine is a correction of a historical injustice. The Palestinian ambassador to London stressed the need for international powers, including the United States, to exert full pressure on Netanyahu in particular.
He said Israel's opposition to a permanent ceasefire in Gaza reflects Netanyahu's personal priorities at the expense of the interests of the region and the world. He added that correcting this “historical injustice” must be practical and not just talk. Recognition is a Palestinian right, not a charity.
