Iraq Study Group (ISG)-Middle East

The Prime Minister's Official Spokesman (PMOS) told journalists about the Prime Minister's video conference with the ISG earlier today. The PMOS said that he was not going to brief in any way the discussion as a whole and what the ISG had asked the Prime Minister because what we wanted to do was to respect the process of the ISG in its own right. The Prime Minister told the ISG that that what he believed was needed was a plan for Iraq, and a plan for the region as a whole that focused firstly on resolving the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The Prime Minister said he believed the Iraqi government increasingly wanted to take control of its own affairs, and do so in a way which brought together the country as a whole. Our aim should be to support them.
