Proceeding contribution from Robert Walter (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 June 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Gaza Flotilla.


Gaza Flotilla

The flotilla, which was probably doomed to fail, was an expression of the frustration of ordinary people at the failure of the United Nations, and in particular of the Quartet, to get Israel to comply with its UN obligations. The Foreign Secretary has had conversations with Mrs Clinton. I understand that he is also meeting the EU High Representative. Does he believe that between us we can encourage the Quartet to take firmer action with Israel, which still in its statements today seems not to understand the gravity of the situation?
