PALESTINE AND ISRAEL

Early day motion 759, tabled 21 November 2012 by John Hemming (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 13 members.

That this House is saddened by the deaths of innocent people in Palestine and Israel; recognises that the result of such deaths is an emotional response where some people on both sides are driven to seek revenge in preference to peace; believes that for negotiations to succeed there needs to be sufficient demand for peace that a rational response overwhelms those on each side that do not wish forpeace; and calls on the international community to concentrate its efforts on finding routes towards stopping the killing.

Signatures by party: Labour 5, Liberal Democrat 5, Conservative 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
