Proceeding contribution from Lord Malloch-Brown (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 January 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Gaza.


Gaza

My Lords, my noble friend brings to us all an important observation from her week in the region. This has been a terrible time for moderates in the Middle East, whether they are Palestinian, Arab or Israeli. You are seeing the classic consequence of conflict. Everyone is reverting to hard-line positions and we need to regroup before some point of no return is passed. Therefore, I absolutely endorse the insights that my noble friend gathered during her visit.
