Proceeding contribution from James Clappison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on Gaza.


Gaza

My hon. Friend makes a powerful point, because at some time in future, there must be a settlement on the west bank, and Palestinians' legitimate aspirations must be addressed. However, the Israeli evacuation from Gaza and the removal of settlements was followed by Hamas causing or permitting an ever-increasing number of rockets to be fired over a wider and wider area of Israel. That does nothing to advance the cause.
