Proceeding contribution from David Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 February 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Libya and the Middle East.

Libya and the Middle East

The Prime Minister has my strong support for the vote that his Government cast at the UN Security Council on 17 February. The previous Government cast a similar vote in January 2009 with cross-party support. However, does he agree that the lessons of the past decade are that the Israelis and Palestinians will not of their own volition negotiate a solution between themselves, that the international community needs to force the pace on the terms and timing of a resolution to that terrible dispute, and that that needs to be led from the UN Security Council?
