The Prime Minister will be aware that very many of our constituents remember the Iraq war, and they will have noted the similarities with this war: both in the middle east and both illegal. Of course, the current Iranian regime is horrible, violent, murderous and a threat to international order,...

That this House expresses its alarm at evidence showing Israel used cluster munitions in its 2023 onwards invasion and bombings of Lebanon, which has killed more than 4,000 people in total; highlights that under the Convention on Cluster Munitions, an international treaty signed by Britain and more than 100 other states, the use, production, transfer and stockpiling of cluster munitions is prohibited; notes evidence showing Israel’s largest arms company Elbit Systems was one of the manufacturers of the cluster munitions used in Israel’s recent assault on Lebanon; further notes Elbit Systems is deeply implicated in Israel’s grave violations of international law, including its genocide in Gaza; further expresses alarm that the Government allows Elbit Systems to operate factories in Britain and has awarded the company lucrative military contracts; also expresses alarm that British bank Barclays continues to invest in Elbit Systems, despite having a policy to end financial ties with companies that trade in or manufacture cluster munitions; urges therefore Barclays bank to end all financial ties with Elbit Systems; calls for the Government to implement measures to prevent companies in Britain from aiding international law violations; and further calls on the Government, in light of this new evidence, in addition to Elbit Systems’ role in Israel’s grave violations of international law against Palestinians, to end all arms sales to Israel, cancel all contracts with Elbit Systems, commit to not entering into any future contracts with Elbit Systems, and to close down all of Elbit Systems’ factories in Britain.

People in Hackney and country-wide feel strongly about this issue. Does my right hon. Friend agree that, far from moving towards a two-state solution, Israel is deliberately trying to disrupt it with settlements on the west bank and the annexation of the Golan heights?

The Syrian crisis is the most pressing humanitarian challenge facing us at this time, and the Government are to be commended on co-hosting an important conference that has raised more than $10 billion for Syrian refugees. They are also to be commended on doubling our own commitment to more than...

There are terrible reports of the conditions in the Syrian refugee camps on Greek islands such as Lesbos, with no dry clothes, no shelter, no food, and children sleeping in bin bags, and conditions can only get worse as winter approaches. Are the Government really prepared to turn their back on people like these?

We have already done work, and are doing work, with the UNHCR and the Red Cross.
Does my right hon. Friend agree that citing the possibility that hundreds of millions of people may be on the move as an argument against taking our fair share from the current migrant crisis is dishonest and an argument for doing very little, possibly nothing at all?

Does my hon. Friend agree that for those of us who are just old enough to remember the Vietnamese war, the constant talk of one more push, one more offensive and one more surge is oh so reminiscent of that doomed foreign adventure, and it will end, as the Vietnamese...

I wish to speak on a subject of great concern to me and my constituents: the unfolding tragedy in Lebanon. It is worth reminding the House how the crisis began. It started two weeks ago, when Palestinians in Gaza captured an Israeli soldier with the intention of negotiating the release...

That this House expresses grave concern about the escalating crisis in the Middle East that has now spread to Lebanon; notes that Israel's disproportionate military actions in Gaza and Lebanon, including an air and sea blockade of Lebanon, attacks on the airport in Beirut on 13th July and the killing of at least 35 Lebanese civilians within the first 24 hours, risk provoking further regional conflict by seriously jeopardising the fragile political landscape in Lebanon; condemns Hizballah's rocket attacks on Israel and the abduction of Israeli soldiers; urges the British Government to call for an immediate cessation of violence from all parties and to condemn the killing of all civilians on all sides; and calls on all sides to respect the other's sovereignty and international law and to release all prisoners held illegally without trial as a means to end the current crisis.

That this House believes that the continued Israeli aggression on Lebanon is disproportionate and in violation of international humanitarian law; believes that by targeting a civilian population and its infrastructure it violates the Fourth Geneva Convention and that the attacks serve only to hinder the changes of peace in the region; and calls on sides to use restraint and for international law to be upheld, including adherence to the April 1996 understandings and the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 425 calling for Israel's immediate and unconditional withdrawal from southern Lebanon.

That this House notes that 14th March marks the eighteenth anniversary of the first Israeli invasion of Lebanon; deplores the continued Israeli occupation of a significant part of this independent and sovereign Arab country in blatant contravention of United Nations Resolution 425; condemns the regular shelling of villages in southern Lebanon; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to use both persuasion and pressure on the government of Israel so that the totally unjustified occupation may be ended without delay and a comprehensive peace treaty be signed between Lebanon and Israel.

That this House notes that Christmas 1989 is John McCarthy's fourth in captivity; believes there can be no cessation of the search for ways to end his continuing detention, and that of the other hostages, Brian Keenan, Terry Waite and Jack Mann; and urges the Government to continue to explore every avenue to secure their release, in co-operation with other governments and international organisations, particularly with those who have influence over the hostage takers; and declares that those who enjoy freedom must use it to enable others to regain theirs.
