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


Middle East

It is understandable that the focus in this debate and the wider international community has rightly been on the situation in Gaza. However, it is also worth while mentioning again, as other colleagues have, that the situation facing the Palestinian people on the west bank, although not as severe as in Gaza, is nevertheless extremely serious. That situation becomes more serious day by day, primarily because of the activities authorised, initiated and approved by the Israeli Government in extending Israeli settlements on the west bank.
