Petitioners demand action against illegal Israeli settlements

The chair of Parliament’s all-party group on Palestine issued the warning as he joined campaigners to hand in a 20,000-name petition calling for sanctions against Israel.

“The two-state solution that governments of all persuasion have said they support is disappearing in front of our eyes,” he told the Star.
