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


Gaza

No, I want to finish. Most importantly, the freeze on settlements that was crucial to the Annapolis agreement has not happened. Illegal settlements continue. That has seriously undermined the peace negotiations and seriously undermined President Abbas. What I fear most of all is that that episode has cut the legs from under President Abbas. I hope that I am proved wrong but I think that the Israelis have made a serious error and they will rue the day that they decided to take this action.
