Emily Thornberry's formberry reply:
Thank you for writing to me regarding the Home Secretary's decision to proscribe Palestine Action.
I believe the right to protest is a fundamental right in our democracy and I will continue to wholeheartedly defend this. I appreciate the concerns you have raised regarding proscribing Palestine
Action, however, as there is an upcoming judicial review into the ban, I am limited as to what I can say on the matter at the moment.
I was pleased that the near weekly protests in London and across the country, calling for an end to Palestinian suffering, have continued. I am certain we all want to see an immediate end to the immense suffering the Palestinian people are being subjected to, and the resumption of the critical aid deliveries which are so desperately needed in Gaza.
I am thankful that the Government have now set out an approach to recognising the Palestinian state as a step towards a lasting ceasefire. If you would like to know more about my wider views on the Israel-Palestine conflict, which you can view below.
Thank you again for writing to me on this very important issue. Let me assure you I will continue to push from within Parliament for an end to the violence and a peaceful two-state solution.
Best wishes,
Rt Hon Emily Thornberry MP
