Gordon Brown has insisted that all parties to the Middle East dispute over Palestine must be brought together to thrash out a lasting peace settlement despite the recent hostilities in Gaza.
Speaking at a press conference with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Downing Street on Thursday, the PM said that peace could be achieved in the Middle East based on a secure Israel and a viable Palestinian state. Progress on the issue remains a top priority for the UK and international partners will be urged to work together to come to an agreement, he said.
