Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on UK Policy on the Middle East.
UK Policy on the Middle East
Does my hon. Friend agree that a good step forward would be if Israel released the substantial number of Palestinian parliamentarians who are still held in prison, several years after the election? Otherwise, the message is that democracy does not work, and it is like saying to the Palestinians, "Your leaders get arrested and taken away, and therefore you have no representation." The anger at that in Gaza and the west bank is very serious indeed.
