Proceeding contribution from Richard Burden (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 July 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on G8 Summit.
G8 Summit
I agree with my right hon. Friend that there is neither excuse nor justification for rocket attacks, whether on Ashkelon or Haifa, but I find his comment that Israel has not defaulted on its road map obligations astonishing. Surely he is aware that long before Hamas was elected, and while Hamas was on ceasefire for the best part of a year, Israel was building a wall in Palestinian territory and expanding illegal settlements. What is that, if not defaulting on its road map obligations?
