Foreign Office Questions

Crispin Blunt asked the following question at Foreign Office Questionsduring a Statement by the Foreign Secretary on the middle east peaceprocess.

Mr. Crispin Blunt (Reigate): Although I agree with everything that the Foreign Secretary and others have said condemning Palestinian suicide bombers, should we not be asking the Government of Israel to desist from their policy of targeted assassinations of Palestinians? They have killed perhaps hundreds of Palestinians in circumstances—some of which I saw a month ago in the west bank—that appear on the face of it to be a violation of the fourth Geneva convention.

Mr. Straw: Yes. We always make representations whenever we think that a member state of the United Nations is transgressing international law.
