Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Middle East and North Africa.


Middle East and North Africa

The Foreign Secretary has consistently condemned the use of live fire against unarmed protesters by murderous regimes such as Assad's and Gaddafi's, so why does he find it difficult today to condemn exactly the same thing by the Israeli regime? What protest is he making to the ambassador and to the Government of Israel and what sanctions will he consider if there is a repetition of these events, which go on week by week on all of Israel's illegal borders?
