Mr David Lammy

Labour — Tottenham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 30 July 2024

Debate

Lebanon

Contribution

I recognise the huge concern in this House and across the world about the nature of both the expansion and the violence. I have also said that recognition is important as a pathway to peace, and no country has a veto on when and how we do that, working with partners. However, I do not think that bringing those two things into proximity is the right way to go about things diplomatically, and I suspect that if we did, we would struggle to find partners that would support us.
