"Yvette Cooper has accused Benjamin Netanyahu of allowing children in Gaza to die of starvation. The foreign secretary hit out at the unbearable humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, which she said was worsening as Mr Netanyahu's government chooses to escalate war and hold back aid. She also warned the two-state solution faces profound peril, saying that extremists on both sides want the possibility of a viable Palestinian state to disappear beneath the rubble."
"Her remarks at the UN General Assembly came a day after the UK announced it would recognise Palestine, a move she defended and said was born of urgency and principle in a bid to save the two-state solution. Cooper criticised Israel for letting food rot at the border while children die of starvation (AP) Ms Cooper said: This step, alongside friends and partners, reflects a longstanding truth that statehood is the inalienable right of the Palestinian people, and that two states is the only path to security and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike."
