Against a backdrop of broken ceasefires and with almost 2,000 people dead, Quakers in Britain have released a statement calling for urgent action on Gaza.

The Religious Society of Friends in Britain has urged the UK government to recognise Palestine as a nation state, stressing that 134 countries have already recognised the state of Palestine.

‘The UK government should also play its part in creating a real opportunity for peace by drawing groups such as Hamas into the political process and thus away from violent resistance to the occupation’, the statement continued.
