Sir Bernard Jenkin

Conservative — Harwich and North Essex

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 June 2025

Debate

Iran-Israel Conflict

Contribution

Will the Foreign Secretary confirm that the State of Israel has a declared policy on its nuclear weapons of no first use and that there is no evidence that it has ever misused or threatened to misuse its nuclear weapons in any irresponsible way whatsoever? Does he agree, moreover, that in international law there is the right of pre-emptive military action, and it is hard to imagine how that would not apply in this case, given Iran’s determination to destroy the State of Israel?
