Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 June 2026

Debate

Lebanon: Israel Defense Forces Operations

Contribution

First, I commend the noble Lord’s work with women and girls in Lebanon. It is vital that we continue this work, and two weeks ago I was able to meet the Lebanese Minister for social affairs, who is an outstanding woman leader in Lebanon. Our support for the Lebanese army continues, and it is the right way to support Lebanon in defeating Hezbollah, a proscribed organisation. We support the aim of getting rid of Hezbollah, but it has to be done by strengthening the state and the Government of Lebanon.
