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.
