Proceeding contribution from Andrew Percy (Conservative) 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

The Foreign Secretary's statement seemed to focus very much on the actions of Israel rather than on the actions of the Palestinian Authority, which continues to threaten the state of Israel and not to do enough about terrorist attacks on Israel. However, may I urge him to look again at whether we abstain? Surely we should be voting against this unilateral and provocative act that will do nothing to bring anybody to the negotiating table.
