Speaking in the House of Commons on 7 October 2024

Debate

Anniversary of 7 October Attacks: Middle East

Contribution

I accept my hon. Friend’s point that it is through a cessation of hostilities that the space can be created for the release of hostages. Yes, of course we talk to leaders, including in Israel, the whole time about how that can be brought about. It is the central focus of all our discussions with Israel and with our allies.
