Proceeding contribution from Jane Kennedy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 July 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Israel (War against Terror).


Israel (War against Terror)

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving me time to intervene, but will he not accept that it is extraordinarily difficult to insist that Israel should negotiate with Hamas when we do not have a ceasefire because Hamas has broken away from it and declared its intent to kidnap people and use them as bargaining chips in what it clearly perceives as an armed conflict? How can we insist that Israel take only the route of negotiation when the people with whom we insist that it negotiates are not even prepared to bring about a ceasefire?
