Proceeding contribution from Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 January 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Global Security (Middle East).
Global Security (Middle East)
The hon. Gentleman comes to the nub of the matter, which is engagement with Hamas. Does he agree that talking about engagement with Hamas is pretty meaningless? It presumes that Hamas has a single view, but as a movement it covers a broad range of views; we ought to be engaging with people on the basis of what they say and what they stand for rather than the label that circumstances have applied to them.
