Labour leadership candidate Rebecca Long-Bailey used this week’s televised debate to show her support for a ‘state of Palestine’ but made a glaring error by stating that there are illegal settlements in Gaza – there are no settlements, illegal or legal in Gaza.
(And for the legality of settlements in the West Bank, see here)
I will never apologise for standing up for the rights of Palestinians.#c4debate #LabourLeadership #Labour pic.twitter.com/ZbEq4hoVHf
