Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 November 2024

Debate

International Aid Workers: Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories

Contribution

My Lords, it is very clear that representations are not enough; direct engagement is required with both the Government of Israel and the Governments of Egypt and Jordan. First, what specific meetings have been held, in country and at a ministerial level? Secondly, as I have discussed before, during the previous Government, we sought out-of-the-box thinking, not just on land routes, which are of course the major delivery mechanism, but on maritime and air routes. Has any work been done in that regard?
