Last week, I spoke in Parliament in support of a ban on trade with illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

Every day there are violent attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank: Homes demolished, farmland seized and roads blocked.

The settlements are illegal under international law, and if we accept that, we cannot just stop there. A trade ban alone will not bring peace, but it would ensure Britain is not contributing to an unlawful situation.
