In this special episode of Roundtable, Enda Brady speaks to Husam Zomlot, Palestine’s Ambassador to the UK.
Three years after Israel began its war on Gaza, Zomlot says there has been a ‘public and political shift towards Palestine’ globally.
He praises the beginning of a ‘new approach’ from Britain towards Israel under Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband.
The UK recently imposed sanctions on Israeli settlers in occupied West Bank and last year formally recognised the State of Palestine.
Zomlot says Britain has moved ‘from words to action’ as he details the global switch in sentiment towards Israel and increasing public support for Palestine, and how he is hopeful to see a Palestinian state in his lifetime.

For the first time I'm starting to think something good is on the horizon. Israel isn't just against Palestine now. It's against the world. Except for a few misfit nations who won't count in about a year's time.
Love to the Palestinian people and their country, Palestine. Tiocfaidh bhur lá.
