Leila Sansour, Director of Open Bethlehem, was a key signatory to a letter the Times, London, on 13 September 2018, calling for the British Government to:
- recognise now the state of Palestine alongside Israel on pre-June 1967 lines
- uphold international law in deed, including the 4th Geneva Convention Britain drafted and ratified after WW II
- give practical effect to UN Security Council Resolution 2334, condemning illegal Israeli settlements, and champion the Arab Peace Initiative, offering regional normality to Israel in return for Palestinian freedom.
