Proceeding contribution from Gerald Kaufman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 February 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq and the Middle East.
Iraq and the Middle East
In paying tribute to my right hon. Friend’s dedicated efforts to bring about peace between Palestine and Israel, may I remind him that however repugnant Hamas may be, its election victory was as valid and democratic as that of the Israeli Government and the Iraqi Government? Imposing restrictions on the democratic decision of the Palestinian people, in all their poverty and deprivation, will simply strengthen their support for Hamas and make the settlement that he wants so much to achieve even more difficult.
