The Embassy of the State of Palestine has officially opened in the UK, a development described by the Palestinian ambassador as a “historic moment.” Speaking at the inauguration in Hammersmith, west London, on Monday, Ambassador Husam Zomlot said the opening marked a significant milestone in British-Palestinian relations.
