Yvette Cooper

Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 March 2026

Debate

Middle East

Contribution

I heard part of that deeply distressing interview this morning. Not only does there have to be compliance with international standards, humanitarian law, international law and full investigations of any violations, but we have to ensure that there is a peace process, which is desperately needed, for Gaza and the west bank as part of a two-state solution. Only that will deliver peace and respect for human rights across the region.
