Sir Edward Leigh

Conservative — Gainsborough

Speaking in the House of Commons on 7 October 2024

Debate

Anniversary of 7 October Attacks: Middle East

Contribution

There are many different opinions on policy in the middle east, but does the Prime Minister agree that what must surely unite everyone in this House is our profound detestation of antisemitism in all its shapes and forces, as well as our profound love for the Jewish people on their day of suffering, especially as many of those who were murdered at the music festival and in the kibbutz were actively working for peace? Will he reflect that there are still many people—many Jewish and Arab people—who want a moderate solution, and that we should give them our support?
