Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 January 2024. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Defending the UK and Allies.


Defending the UK and Allies

Friend work with the American President to ensure that, just as he is completely vigorous in defending Israel and its right to exist, he is even as vigorous in defending the right of the Palestinian people to their own state, in peace and justice, without a settlement being imposed on them every week?
