Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM) has reaffirmed its 2014 call to the UK government to ‘honour its commitment to the two-state solution and recognise the state of Palestine without delay’. The call follows Benjamin Netanyahu’s announcement that he intended to annex Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine, if he was elected for another term as prime minister. It was confirmed that the prime minster had won his fifth term on 10 April.
