The Prime Minister
As I have said, I support Israel’s right to defend itself and that right has to be exercised in a proportionate way. That is what international law says.
Mr Geoffrey Robinson (Coventry North West) (Lab)
Does the Prime Minister agree that he is in danger of following the pattern of his predecessor but one, who supported Israel for far too long? Speaking as a friend of Israel, may I say that the most candid thing we can say now is that the massive land invasion is disproportionate and causing loss of civilian life, and that it will in no way enhance the long-term security of Israel?
The Prime Minister
I think I have been very clear about what needs to happen, as, indeed, I was in 2006.
