Proceeding contribution from Lord Beith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on Gaza.


Gaza

The hon. Gentleman is making a thoughtful speech. Is it not worrying that the possibility that is emerging in Cairo of some serious discussion between Hamas and the other partners has been created by Israeli violent attack, and that that is a mark of the international community's failure to get Hamas talking, unwelcome and difficult though that process is, until now? It should not be only violence that can achieve that.
