Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 June 2026

Debate

Lebanon: Israel Defense Forces Operations

Contribution

I want to be absolutely clear about this: I have complete sympathy with the people who have been displaced and harmed and who are living in the fear the noble Lord talks about—of course I do, as does everybody else in this Government. It is important and essential that we rid Lebanon of Hezbollah. How we do that is not by razing whole villages to the ground and by killing 3,500 civilians and over 100 health workers. I do not see how the aims Israel says it has—aims that we all share, of ridding the world of Hezbollah—are met through that action.
