Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Middle East and North Africa.
Middle East and North Africa
I endorse entirely the remarks of the right hon. and learned Member for North East Fife (Sir Menzies Campbell). Will the Foreign Secretary please think again about this? His argument seems entirely tactical, yet there is absolutely no evidence that holding back from a decision to vote for this, which I think he would otherwise support, will encourage Israel to come to the table. Surely the whole weight of the argument is that Israel will come to the table only if the international community is firm with it.
