Campaign for Truth's Amber Zine Shittret asks Ghan: "What do you mean because I've seen your many events from the river to the sea? Palestine will be free. Be free from what exactly?" She then calls on Jack Straw, asking him if London should be shared as a capital with another non-sovereign entity.
Many of Israel's supporters, including Donald Trump, claim Jerusalem should be recognised as the country's capital city. After all, it has been the Jewish people's spiritual capital for millennia. But will recognising Jerusalem be the death blow for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process?
Arguing in favour of the motion "The World Should Recognise Jerusalem As Israel’s Capital" were Ehud Omert, former Israeli Prime Minister; and Natasha Hausdorff, barrister at Six Pump Court Chambers and a director of the NGO ‘UK Lawyers for Israel’.
Against them were former UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw and leading Palestinian activist, academic and writer Ghada Karmi.
The debate was chaired by Emily Maitlis, presenter of BBC Newsnight and one of the UK's best known broadcasters.
