Palestinian ambassador offers a message of hope as he addresses Unison’s conference

THE Palestinian ambassador to Britain offered a message of hope as he addressed Unison’s conference today.

Dr Husam Zamlot opened the international section of the conference agenda by slamming the British government for failing to recognise the state of Palestine and giving away Palestinian land without consultation.

“Whether or not Britain recognises a Palestinian state — Palestine will be free,” he said.
