Last Monday, when the US president, Donald Trump, addressed the Knesset alongside the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, my compatriot lawmaker Ayman Odeh and I raised a banner calling them to Recognise Palestine. We were brutally expelled by force from the parliament's plenum, revealing the fragile state of the supposed only democracy in the Middle East. How can Trump and Netanyahu speak of peace in the Middle East without recognition of the people deprived for decades of their basic liberties and rights under vicious occupation?

The government is making clear - again and without restraint - that it prefers deepening the occupation and advancing de facto annexation over pursuing peace.
