Palestine Matters Podcast – Why Recognition of Palestine Matters
If you haven’t tuned in yet, you now have two ways to catch our latest Palestine Matters episode – watch the video or listen wherever you get your podcasts. Just search Britain Palestine Project, or head to our website.
Recorded at the Beyond Borders International Festival in Scotland, host Diana Safieh is joined by:
- Humza Yousaf, former First Minister of Scotland, who speaks movingly both as a political leader and as a family member of Palestinians trapped in Gaza.
- Sir Vincent Fean, former British Consul-General in Jerusalem and BPP trustee, who brings historical and diplomatic insight into Britain’s responsibilities.
Together they explore why recognition is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people, Britain’s historic obligations, and how recognition must lead to decisive measures – ending arms sales, enforcing international law, and securing equal rights.
Listen or watch now: Palestine Matters is available on all podcast platforms, YouTube, and our website. Just search for Britain Palestine Project.
