19 Recognition is the Beginning Conference: Dr Brian Brivati - Conclusions and BPP Policy Platform
<p>In the closing session of the conference, Britain Palestine Project Executive Director Dr Brian Brivati reflected on the discussions of the day and outlined the practical policy agenda emerging from the conference and the newly launched Statement of Principles.</p><p>Rather than attempting to summarise every contribution, Dr Brivati focused on a central question that had run throughout the conference: how can sufficient political pressure be generated to change the realities on the ground and encourage meaningful action from governments?</p><p>He argued that the coming months present a significant political opportunity. With the prospect of political change in both Israel and the United Kingdom, and increasing public concern over the situation in Palestine and Israel, there is a rare moment in which policymakers may be more receptive to public pressure and advocacy.</p><p>Drawing on themes raised throughout the day, Brivati highlighted a number of practical policy measures that Britain Palestine Project intends to advocate for, including action on trade with illegal settlements, opposition to settlement expansion in the E1 corridor, publication and implementation of legal advice relating to the International Court of Justice advisory opinion, and stronger action regarding arms exports and international legal obligations.</p><p>He stressed that while individual measures taken by the United Kingdom are important, meaningful change will ultimately require coordinated action with international partners. Britain’s influence is greatest when exercised alongside allies, particularly within Europe and through international institutions such as the United Nations.</p><p>Brivati also pointed to the approaching review of the UN-mandated arrangements governing Gaza's future and argued that civil society organisations, campaigners and citizens have an important role to play in shaping the debate around what comes next.</p><p>A key message of the session was that political engagement matters. Delegates were encouraged to continue writing to MPs, engaging with elected representatives, organising public meetings, and keeping issues of justice, accountability and international law firmly on the political agenda. Brivati argued that in a fragmented and competitive political environment, elected representatives are listening more closely than they often do, creating opportunities for citizens to influence policy.</p><p>The session concluded with thanks to the speakers, delegates, volunteers and staff who had contributed to the conference, and a commitment from the Britain Palestine Project to continue developing and advocating a practical policy platform rooted in its Statement of Principles and informed by the expertise shared throughout the day.</p><p><br></p>

18 Recognition is the Beginning Conference: The global political situation: what can be done?
<p>Featuring: Daniel Levy, Dr Julie Norman, Nomi Bar-Yaacov, Shawan Jabarin, followed by Q&A.</p><p>As the conference drew towards its conclusion, this panel tackled one of the most pressing questions of the day: what practical action can be taken internationally to advance Palestinian rights, uphold international law and create meaningful political change?</p><p>Chaired by Sir Vincent Fean, the discussion brought together Daniel Levy, Dr Julie Norman, Nomi Bar-Yaacov and Shawan Jabarin to explore the shifting global political landscape, the role of governments and civil society, and how pressure can be translated into action.</p><p>Dr Julie Norman argued that despair and inaction are not options. While acknowledging the scale of suffering in Gaza and the West Bank, she highlighted practical policy measures including recognition of the State of Palestine, banning settlement goods, supporting Palestinian businesses, and ensuring that any future reconstruction of Gaza prioritises Palestinian agency and dignity. She also reflected on the Britain Palestine Project’s Statement of Principles, emphasising the importance of maintaining a broad coalition while continuing difficult conversations about how principles become policy.</p><p>Shawan Jabarin offered a stark assessment of international efforts to date. Drawing on his experience as Director General of Al-Haq, he warned that many reconstruction proposals risk entrenching Israeli control rather than advancing Palestinian self-determination. He argued that Palestinians have been systematically excluded from decisions about their own future and stressed the need to challenge policies that seek to normalise occupation, displacement and inequality.</p><p>Daniel Levy focused on the political realities of building influence and power. He argued that international law alone will not change outcomes unless governments are willing to create consequences for violations. Levy explored the growing global movement around Palestine, the shifting geopolitical landscape and the importance of creating political pressure that changes Israeli calculations. He also examined changing attitudes within Jewish communities worldwide and challenged assumptions about the future of Zionism, accountability and coexistence.</p><p>Nomi Bar-Yaacov highlighted the urgency of implementing the International Court of Justice advisory opinion and ending the occupation in practice rather than merely in rhetoric. She outlined concrete measures governments could take, including restrictions on settlement activity, support for accountability mechanisms, action on Palestinian prisoners, and stronger coordination among European states. Bar-Yaacov also stressed the importance of maintaining hope through dialogue, cooperation and future political solutions grounded in justice and equality.</p><p>The panel concluded with a lively audience discussion covering Palestinian political leadership, the imprisonment of Marwan Barghouti, the role of Hamas, changing attitudes among younger Jewish communities, international sanctions, and whether emerging global alliances may offer new opportunities to uphold international law.</p><p>Throughout the discussion, speakers returned to a common theme: meaningful change will require more than statements of concern. It will require sustained political pressure, international accountability, grassroots mobilisation and a commitment to ensuring that Palestinian rights remain central to any future political settlement.</p><p><strong>Speakers:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Daniel Levy, President, US/Middle East Project</p></li><li><p>Dr Julie Norman, Associate Professor in Politics and International Relations, UCL</p></li><li><p>Nomi Bar-Yaacov, International Negotiator and Mediator</p></li><li><p>Shawan Jabarin, Director General, Al-Haq</p></li></ul><p><strong>Chair:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Sir Vincent Fean KCVO, Trustee, Britain Palestine Project</p></li></ul><p></p>

<p><strong>Featuring:</strong> Chris Doyle, Shawan Jabarin, Dame Emily Thornberry MP, Debbie Abrahams MP and Paul Gerrard, <strong>Chair:</strong> Sir Vincent Fean</p><p>In this wide-ranging panel discussion, leading politicians, campaigners, human rights advocates and policy experts examine the question at the heart of the conference: now that the UK has recognised the State of Palestine, what practical steps should come next?</p><p>The panel explores how recognition can be translated into meaningful political, economic and legal action, discussing sanctions, trade, settlements, accountability, international law and the role of civil society in shaping government policy.</p><p>Topics discussed include:</p><ul><li><p>The implications of UK recognition of the State of Palestine and whether recognition should be viewed as a starting point rather than an endpoint.</p></li><li><p>Britain's historic and contemporary responsibilities regarding Palestine.</p></li><li><p>The UK's military, diplomatic and economic relationship with Israel.</p></li><li><p>Calls for sanctions, arms embargoes and restrictions on trade connected to settlements.</p></li><li><p>The International Court of Justice advisory opinion and the UK's response to its findings.</p></li><li><p>The legality of Israeli settlements and possible measures available to governments and businesses.</p></li><li><p>The proposed E1 settlement expansion and its implications for the viability of a future Palestinian state.</p></li><li><p>The role of British businesses, investors and consumers in relation to settlements and occupation.</p></li><li><p>The economic challenges facing Palestinian producers and exporters.</p></li><li><p>The role of Parliament, political parties and public campaigning in shaping UK policy.</p></li><li><p>Civil society action, grassroots organising and public pressure as drivers of political change.</p></li><li><p>Questions of accountability, international law and enforcement mechanisms.</p></li></ul><p>Recorded at the Britain Palestine Project annual conference, <strong>Recognition is the Beginning</strong>, held at the Greenwood Theatre, London, on 2 June 2026.</p><p>Chris Doyle is Director of the Council for Arab-British Understanding (Caabu), one of the UK's leading organisations promoting informed debate and policy engagement on the Middle East.
