Proceeding contribution from Ann Clwyd (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 January 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Gaza.


Gaza

My right hon. Friend knows that the people of Gaza made Hamas their elected choice in what were described as free and fair elections. The Israelis have locked up 45 Hamas MPs, and some Fatah MPs as well. What can my right hon. Friend do to secure the release of the properly elected representatives, either to stand trial or to be let go?
