Middle East

Asked what the Prime Minister was doing publicly to condemn the actions of the Israelis in Rafah, the PMOS said that the UK had voted in favour of the motion at the UN last night which had underlined that all violence must stop, and had also condemned the killing of Palestinian civilians in the Rafah area. It had also called on Israel to respect its obligations under international law, in particular in not undertaking the demolition of houses. It had also called on both parties immediately to implement their obligations under the terms of the roadmap. Asked if the Prime Minister had used his influence with President Bush to ask him to use his lever over the Israelis to call a halt to the violence, the PMOS said that the President was fully aware of our view, as were the Israelis.
