Proceeding contribution from Sandra Osborne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 May 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Middle East.


Middle East

I am sure the whole House agrees with the hon. Gentleman’s comments, but is he aware that the World Bank recently reported that Gaza’s economy recorded zero growth in 2007 and that this could continue only as long as Israel keeps up the economic blockade? Does he agree that it should lift that blockade?
