Proceeding contribution from Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 October 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Middle East and North Africa.
Middle East and North Africa
I welcome my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary's rejection of the admonitions of some in this House for precipitous recognition of Palestinian statehood. He may know that in December 2008 I raised in an Adjournment debate the incarceration of Gilad Shalit, who has been in captivity since 25 June 2006. Will my right hon. Friend restate the imperative for Hamas to use that gesture as an opportunity to build for the future, to reject violence and terror, and to move towards peace and prosperity under the auspices of the Quartet principles?
