Debate

Middle East

Contribution

The Prime Minister responded to my questions on Gaza in the Liaison Committee this afternoon by saying: “we need a ceasefire and we need it straightaway” and “the situation on the ground is intolerable”. How will we get that ceasefire when the Israeli Government have already rejected the statement by the Foreign Secretary and his allied Ministers as “disconnected from reality”? The will of the House is clear on this matter: it wants action, not words. Why is my right hon. Friend not hearing that?
