Proceeding contribution from Bill Rammell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on Gaza.
Gaza
Let me say to my hon. Friend that I understand that concern. Israel does have a right to self-defence. I was in Ashkelon, and I have experienced the psychological and military aspects of the terror on Israel—but the Israeli action has been disproportionate. On both sides, we need to get to that ceasefire as quickly as we possibly can.
