Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Ian Taylor (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 24 June 2009 on behalf of the Department for International Development.


Middle East

Question
Part of the problem in Gaza is the rivalry between Fatah and Hezbollah. Does the Minister have any engagement in the discussions to try to keep the peace, and has Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu given any assurances in respect of Gaza in his comments about a two-state solution?
Answer

I have had no direct discussions with those two parties representing the Palestinian people, but I can tell the hon. Gentleman that we welcome Prime Minister Netanyahu's recently announced support for a two-state solution, which we think will deal with this situation once and for all.
