Was there any word on the street?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Ms Moran replied: &#8216;Not this, not this. I think everyone&#8230; everyone has been surprised by, first of all, partly the timing, the sophistication (and) the way that it&#8217;s happened.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;What I will say is that I have been warning, and others have in Parliament as well, for a number of years now that if we don&#8217;t find a way&#8230; The fact of the matter is there has not been a (negotiating) table, let alone to go back to a negotiating table, for at least 10 years now.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This is a cycle of violence and every time there is a cycle of violence, my worry now is that this is radicalising another generation, on all sides.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>There was criticism of the remarks on social media afterwards with Peter Grant, the SNP MP for Glenrothes and Central Fife, saying: &#8216;Dear God. Richard Madeley trying to suggest that innocent Palestinians in Gaza and the UK knew about the planned massacre in Israel and did nothing about it.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The PA news agency understands Ms Moran has suggested to GMB she would appear again on the programme.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12647927\/UK-Palestinian-MP-Layla-Moran-says-Richard-Madeleys-question-Hamas-terror-attack-Israel-ignorance-shes-accepted-apology.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UK-Palestinian MP Layla Moran says Richard Madeley&#8217;s question if she &#8216;had any indication&#8217;
