Liberal Democrat policy on Gaza Conflict
The Liberal Democrats stand for compassion, humanity and peace. At every given opportunity the party has voted for a bilateral ceasefire.
Our approach to the Gaza conflict, aided by the first-hand insights of Layla Moran, aims to address the immediate humanitarian crisis and to give space in the conflict to find a sustainable resolution that respects the security and rights of both Palestinians and Israelis.
- We call for an immediate ceasefire and unrestricted access to humanitarian aid in Gaza to alleviate civilian suffering.
- We stand against any violation of human rights and international law.
- We support a two-state solution where Israel and Palestine both exist as independent countries.
- We urge the UK to mediate peace talks and work with international partners to find a solution.
We believe in diplomacy and cooperation to achieve a lasting peace in the Middle East. For detailed information, see our 2024 manifesto.
