UK, Canada, and Australia recognise Palestine state
Q: Do you think that Hamas, for example, are open to the two-state solution?
It's about the Palestinian people enduring the occupation, rather than focusing solely on Hamas.
UK, Canada, and Australia recognise Palestine state
Q: Do you think that this recognition will have any impact on what is currently happening, for example, in Gaza? Or do you think this is largely symbolic?
It's essential, and while it might not change things immediately, it will create momentum for international action.
Concern over falloff in planning permissions for new homes
Q: What can be done about this? What are you asking the government to do?
There are calls for the government to continue investment in water and sewage, support viability issues, and maintain investment in affordable housing, particularly in cost rental housing.
Concern over falloff in planning permissions for new homes
Q: What is the issue of planning permissions?
The planning permissions are crucial for delivering new housing, and there is a concerning drop in these permissions, which translates to fewer homes being built.
UN general assembly begins with recognition of Palestine
Q: Do you agree that Palestine should have a seat at the UN table?
Baskin firmly agrees that Palestine should be recognized by the UN as a member state, not just an observer.
