Proceeding contribution from Clare Short (Independent Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on Gaza.


Gaza

A number of hon. Members have said that Iran is funding and arming Hamas. Could anyone explain how Iran gets the primitive explosives into Egypt, up to Rafah and through the tunnels in order to make these primitive rockets? How do such weapons possibly come from Iran? This is just a scare story, for which there is absolutely no evidence.
